A Little About Me, What I Do, and How I Work
I'm a wife (my husband and biggest supporter is Brad ), mother to two teenage boys who have my whole heart, and a crazy Vizsla! I'm also a professional volunteer! Joking (not joking!)
Before I had the privelege of staying at home with my boys, I worked for a Fotune 500 Consulting Firm. I managed offices around the country, and part of my job was planning events for our various offices.
I retired that hat until we moved to Seattle 10 years ago. We knew no one and I dove in head first to volunteering. With that came requests to help with Fundraisers. I dusted off my event planning skills, and the rest is history. Creating and planning is truly my passion and I am incredibly thankful to be able to live my passion every day.
