Besides being a super hero (aka mommy), what else do you do?
I recently started MOMentum Fitness with my friend, Ali. I have been spending most of my time working to create a program for moms with little ones so they are able to get a great workout in with their kids alongside. On top of that, I am also an Ambassador for Noonday Collection, a socially responsible jewelry and accessories company. I have a heart for empowering women, creating sustainable jobs, and keeping families together. Noonday Collection helps me put those ideas to work in my community. Finally, I love to cook, eat, drink wine and sleep!
Where do you live? Magnolia
Favorite local family activities or events?
We love going to the beach at Cape Henlopen and going to the Fifer’s events. We also just like hanging out in the yard with our neighbors, listening to music, and watching the kids play.

Greatest successes of motherhood?
I love that my two year old is so outgoing. She is fiercely independent. She is also kind and gentle with her baby sister and a great helper. I hope I helped foster those qualities.

Greatest challenge in motherhood? How did you overcome this challenge?
We are coming up on the ‘Three-nager’ years and I think I’ve had a peek into them a few times. Mood swings and temper tantrums are going to be my demise. I am hoping chocolate and wine help me cope during the upcoming years.
Surprise us!
We are a military family and have lived in Dover for nearly 4 years. We recently became a USAF Reserve family so we will be sticking around for a while! I am originally from Florida so I love the warmth and despise the cold winters! Flip flops are my shoe of choice for as long as possible.
Dunkin’ or Starbucks? Starbucks- Soy Chai Latte!
Beach or mountains? Beach
City or country? A little bit of both- I guess I’m a suburbs girl.
Skis or snowboard? Ski
Celebrity crush? Channing Tatum, JJ Watt
