Hello! I was born and raised in the Dayton area and currently live in Centerville with my husband of six years, our daughters, Harper (August 2016) and Norah (May 2019), and our two giant rescue dogs, Scout and Brody. I work part time and am fortunate to spend a couple days a week at home with my girls where I specialize in managing chaos and reenacting scenes from Frozen. As a family, we love spending time outdoors, checking out great local parks, traveling and frequenting ice cream shops. Personally, I am a lover of cold brew, advocating for animal rescues, running, white wine and a really good happy hour. I'm a firm believer in keeping it real in regards to motherhood and navigating life, marriage and all things kids. As someone who forever thought I'd exclusively be a dog mom, I am learning (and winging!) how to be the mom my kids need me to be every day.
