I am a native of Idaho and grew up a farmer's daughter in a tiny rural town of 400 people. I have worked in the legal field for 30+ years, and have three amazing sons, two fabulous daughters-in-law, one incredible granddaughter, and two grand-furbabies.

I enjoy ballroom dancing, Netflix binging, and hanging out with my peekapoo (Pekingese poodle), Max.

I am a cancer thriver, diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma - I'm thrilled to say I've already outlived the "average" expectancy. (If you are curious, my cancer color is lime green.)

I have a heart for volunteering and everything underdog - people, animals, and teams.

I believe every book should be given a chance and that none, no matter the content, should be banned - it is up to us to monitor our intake or that of our littles, not an administration of any kind.
