Receive Text UpdatesWhat I love most about being over 40 is the super-power I feel in my level of confidence that I never had in my 20's. At 42 years young, I decided to go back to school to obtain my Bachelor's in Nursing. The level of organization, sacrifice, and focus that it took to not only be a mom to 4 young children, but to pass each nursing exam, surprised not only my family, but me! I have always been a lover of sports growing up but was competitive in a unifying way. Failure is not an option!
How do you stay fabulous?I try to stay fabulous by helping others realize their full potential. I have been a volunteer basketball, soccer, and track coach over the years. Nothing makes me happier than trying to lead the next generation of young women and helping them realize how strong and resilient that they are. Through sports, young women learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle but also foster strong relationships. Being able to count on your teammates builds trust and will help women become strong leaders.
What would you do with the $40,000?Losing my oldest sister to Breast Cancer over 20 years ago when she was only 37 was one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure. That is, until her oldest daughter, named Katie, lost her battle with depression last year. I would like to use some of this money to start a foundation for children dealing with the loss of a parent. I became a nurse to help others. I have been on a special mission ever since losing my sister. Losing my niece (her only daughter) re-ignited my passion. TYSM!
