I’m a military wife, a mom to four, and a special educator. I believe that laughter is always the best medicine and that love binds us all.

Being over 40 and confident is truly fabulous! It’s a time when you’ve embraced your strengths, let go of insecurities, and learned to trust yourself. You’re comfortable in your own skin, unapologetically authentic, and unafraid to chase your passions. With life experience on your side, you navigate challenges with grace and relish in the joy of self-assured independence.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is all about embracing your authentic self and maintaining a positive mindset. I prioritize self care, surround myself with positive people, and try to never stop learning! I strive to approach life with a sense of adventure and practice gratitude daily. I try to focus on the good and appreciate the beauty in life.
What would you do with the $40,000?I’d use the prize to enjoy a lovely vacation with my family and I’d use the bulk of it to establish community uplift grants for special education classrooms and special education teachers. I would offer small grants (e.g., $1,000 to $2,500) to local special education programs, special education teachers, or small businesses making a difference in special programs. I have a passion for special education and I’d do my best to help local programs get items and funding they need.
