Describe your perfect day at the park.
A perfect day at the park would include an early morning yoga session in the sun, a sack lunch on the
beach, a hike in the afternoon and time on the water, bonfire at night capped with smores by the fire.

What inspired you to pursue a career in this industry?
During my formative years, I resided in a northern waterfront community (Escanaba), actively engaging in the YMCA and various local events. Throughout the summers, my employment history included positions at the City of Escanaba's Marina, coaching sports for the City of Gladstone Recreation, and contributing to several youth basketball camps.

What do you enjoy most about working in parks and recreation?
I am proud to work for an industry that contributes to a balanced and healthy lifestyle by addressing both the physical and social aspects of well-being. Parks and recreation is the best medicine!

What are your hobbies?
I am an Auntie extraordinaire, certified yoga instructor, high school and college basketball referee,
volunteer for Caring Hearts Ministry, and Vice President of the Conquest Fitness Foundation. Most early mornings you can find me at the gym and the evenings in the kitchen cooking and baking.

Tell us something about yourself others might not know.
I saved someone from drowning at a local park.
