  • What do you like to do in your spare time?

    I love to travel! And more low-key, I really enjoy making things – baking, cooking, building, hand-lettering – I’m up for (almost) anything.

  • What inspires you?

    I’m really inspired by goals and vision. Whether they’re my own or something I’m helping a team work toward, knowing where we’re heading inspires me to get it done.

  • Why are you on the board of directors? What emotional reasons?

    After hearing Amanda’s passion for Compassion Delivered and having been recently looking for ways to get more involved in the community, I knew I wanted to serve. Hearing the stories of how families in our community are impacted and touched by the work of Compassion Delivered will lead anyone to want to help! Knowing a family who was served meals through Compassion Delivered during a tragically difficult circumstance made me understand it all a little more. Our community needs this, and I want to help.

  • Who is a hero of yours?

    My mom is the first person who came to mind. Relentlessly loyal, supportive, and hardworking, my mom stops at nothing when it comes to being there for her family and friends. She’s taught me the importance of doing what you say you’ll do and always trying your hardest. As someone who has seen me at my highest and lowest, she has always believed in me and has been the truest earthly depiction of unconditional love. She’s fun, strong and a heck of woman. I hope I become more like her every day.

  • What is something quirky about you?

    I’m a lifelong William (aka: Billy) Joel fan. My siblings and I have been singing (aka: mumbling through) the spiraling headline-based lyrics of We Didn’t Start the Fire since I was four (and most recently we joined forces again in Las Vegas last summer).
