Background: I have lived in South Dakota since I was 14, with the exception of three years spent in Colorado Springs. I attended Brandon Valley High School and South Dakota State University. My family and I have been attending Hillcrest for the past 3 years.

Family: My husband's name is Neil and we have two beautiful and hilarious children - Sabrina (13) and Brady (8). I also have two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Yes, I am the oldest. I am still close with my parents who live not too far from us.

Interests: I love to solve puzzles - jigsaws, crosswords, and other brain teasers. I also enjoy reading, hiking, and watching movies.
