Interests: >I am a wife as well as a mother to 7 children. My life is centered around my family and spending time with them. I like to camp, go on trips with my family, cook, read, etc. I have my Family Herbalist from the Dr. Christopher School of Natural Healing and I enjoy natural methods for healing. I plan on obtaining my Master Herbalist soon. I also sew and share an etsy shop with my teenage son.

Comments on AVW: As a mother (currently of 2 teenagers) I know the struggles parents have in raising their children, and the situations and events that can lead to problematic situations. I have great respect for MHYR, concerning the things they teach and the way they run their program. It's a program I would trust my own children in. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the staff. I have learned much in my own parenting, and think the staff is exceptional.
