Favorite
part of a typical day:
I love that no day is typical for me. I am thankful for
the opportunity to work at home some days and connect with businesses in person on other days. My favorite
part of any day is when a child makes me laugh. A great day also means I've helped make life easier
for someone or helped them succeed in some way.
Interests/hobbies:
I'm thankful to be able
to play year-round co-ed softball in the Valley of the Sun. My job is also
a hobby because of all the creative latitude. I really
love the outdoors—especially camping in the pines. A motto for any day of the week: Good food + Good Company = Great Memories. And life wouldn't be complete without the perspective gained by entertaining and caring for kids.
