After touring Harbor House and St. Anthony Family Shelter, I was deeply touched by the work Catholic Charities is doing for women, children and families in our community. These ministries provide so much more than a safe place to stay—they offer resources, encouragement and support that help families regain stability, hope and dignity. I am honored to be part of the Queen Bee court and to help raise awareness and support for the people these shelters serve.

Serving others has always been important to me, both personally and professionally. I am actively involved at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and school, where I serve with the Little Flowers Girls ministry, volunteer at the school, participate in Walking with Purpose and spend time in Adoration.

One verse I lean on in my daily life is Psalm 143:10: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.”

My husband, Steve, president of Linnebur Electric, and I are proud parents of three children—a 12-year-old son and two daughters, ages 9 and 5. When I’m not working in real estate or volunteering, I enjoy spending time with my family, bringing home projects to life with my husband.
