I said yes to the Queen Bee court because of my sister. She fought cancer with incredible strength but lost her battle at a young age. Saying yes to the Queen Bee court is one way I carry her legacy with me and say yes for her to the things she missed. 

I stay busy volunteering at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church and school and Bishop Carroll Catholic High School. From helping with the lunch program and driving for field trips to helping with After Prom and Project Graduation and feeding the football team every Friday, I look for ways to be involved. Along with my work as a real estate agent, these opportunities give my children a front row seat to seeing their parents serve and be involved in their community. 

My favorite Bible verse, Matthew 28:20, is a reminder of God’s presence in my life: “And behold, I am with you always, yes, even until the end of days.” 

I am a military wife, and my husband, Brian, and I are the proud parents of five children: four sons, ages 12, 16, 18 and 21, and a 6-year-old daughter.
