1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Oxford, OH and lived in Hamilton, OH until I was ten years old. We moved to Port Charlotte, FL and then moved to Venice, FL when I was 13 and moved to Findlay, OH when I was 16 years old. I now live in Van Buren, OH, which is a tiny town just outside of Findlay. I am a single mom of three teenage boys and have been a single mom for eight years now! I love spending time with my kids, attending all their sporting events and just hanging out fishing, boating and just watching them grow. So this business is perfect to be able to stay home and enjoy my time freedom with them.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have grown so much as a leader with PlanNet. I have become more confident in myself and have been forced to come out of my comfort zone. I still have a lot of growing to do but I am loving the changes and progress so far!

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My kids are what motivate me and keep me focused; also my team members. I want my team to see my accomplishments and know that if I can do this business, they can too!

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My twin sister is definitely a role model to me. We are best friends and I look up to her for advice every day. She was also a single mom and she raised an amazing daughter!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Three words that I think describe me are…loyal, honest and committed.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
The best advice I can give someone is always treat others how you would want to be treated. And never, ever judge a book by its cover.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In five years my life will have changed drastically, all my kids will most likely be out of the house and on their way to making their dreams come true. I will definitely be traveling more and definitely be financially free!
