Where are you originally from?

Dana point, California

What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don’t currently work outside the home)?

I’m working as a stay-at-home-mom. Training to be the kids primary homeschool educator. In California I worked as a charge nurse in a rehab center and worked as a waitress in Hawaii before becoming a mom.

What are three fun facts about you?

I would say I enjoy a competitive nature the most. I grew up in a tight-nit neighborhood with lots of kids that played every sport you can think of. From volleyball, skating, snowboarding, ping pong, frisbee and flipping on a no-net trampoline.

I ended up finding my passion pitching in softball. Making lifelong memories with my family and playing a few years at college level.

A second fun fact about me is enjoying an interesting “conspiracy theory”. My whole life I have enjoyed diving into interesting topics that has ended up shaping the mother I have become. Funky topics and theories was what attracted me to my husband as well! We both enjoy living off the beaten path.

So please don’t hesitate to deep dive any topic with this mama (;

A third is my interest in health. Nursing in California for post-op folks then followed by a last minute decision to try a home-birth has started a new interest in a different kind of holistic health. I hope to one day help mothers with their birthing experience as well as postpartum assistance.
