Through life’s challenges, we develop resiliency, growth, and change.  Sometimes this change is difficult, and we need extra support to face our personal trials.

She also obtained her Teacher Certification in Colorado.  As a military wife, she spent several years teaching in Rhode Island with her family, until they relocated to Texas. Her service as a military spouse provides her with personal insight into the challenges of military veterans and the support their families need.
