I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. I have a BA in Fine Arts and a BS in Special Education from the University if Arizona; but my biggest accomplishment in life is my family. I have been married for 9 years and have the most wonderful 3 year old daughter, Kylee. I had no idea how much my ability to love could grow until she came into my life!

I work full time, but I am a freak about frugality. I strive daily to instill good values and morals in Kylee. Though we are active in our community and look like a "typical" family, I spend a lot of time teaching Kylee about value, worth, and the downside of waste. We often enjoy learning how to reuse household items through DIY projects in order to reduce our carbon footprint on the earth. My dream is for her to be invloved in improving our environment, so she is able to watch her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren grow in a world that is better than today!
