The most important thing in the world to me is family. I have a son who is now 25 and being a mom has been and continues to be the best job ever. I have spent my entire career working with kids from age 5 to 18. Seeing them begin to heal and feel better is so rewarding for me. I was a single mom for a lot of my son's childhood so I understand and relate to the challenges that kids face. I also love animals. I have two dogs and two cats. I would love to live on a farm so I could rescue animals.
