I was inspired to join the Queen Bee court because of the impact the Catholic community has in the Wichita area. My Catholic faith and community are near and dear to me, and I stay actively involved through my children’s school and parish at the Church of the Resurrection, serving through the PTO, parish council and by chairing events.

My favorite inspirational quote, “But for the grace of God …,” is a reminder I carry with me through the many roles I embrace in life. I wear several hats as an aquatics manager, fitness instructor, events coordinator and charcuterie caterer. 

My husband, Peter, and I met in college and are the proud parents of five children: a 21-year-old son and four daughters, ages 11, 14, 17 and 19. Our family enjoys staying busy and spending time together.
