I grew up here in the valley. After I obtained my degree in business administration, I married my high school sweetheart and we moved out to Colorado, where we spent ten years. After starting a family, we moved back to Harrisonburg Virginia to settle down with our two daughters and son who now attend Harrisonburg City Schools.  HCPS was one of the reasons we choose Harrisonburg to live because we wanted our kids to grow up fully English-Spanish bilingual. I have spent most of my career in the restaurant management business with a history of developing and monitoring budgets and expenditures, as well as the ability to visualize best response to fiscal challenges.  My Servant Leadership has allowed me to  manage large teams of employees and managers with the mindset that it takes everyone to provide ideas to tackle obstacles.  
I enjoy hiking, listening to music and watching & playing sports, especially soccer!
