I'm from Kennewick, Washington, and have been blessed to call the Tri-Cities home my entire life. Growing up here has shaped who I am, and I’ve always felt a deep connection to this community.

I’ve been happily married for three years to my amazing husband, Hayden. I am the oldest of five children, I have one brother and three sisters. My youngest sister is involved in Singers Company, so this year, I’m excited to get to be her instructor and share my love of music with her.

Art has always been a big part of who I am—I enjoy painting, pressed flower art, embroidery, and more. I'm also a Professional Face Painter and run my own company (Ladybug Creations Face Painting & More), which allows me to combine creativity with community. Gardening is another passion of mine, and I share my home with two baby sulcata tortoises and a Russian tortoise that I've had for 12 years.

I graduated from Southridge High School in Kennewick, where I was part of Show Choir for three years. I loved acting in school musicals and performing in many shows throughout the years. I also attended WSU Tri-Cities for 3 and a half years. Although I didn’t complete my degree, I discovered a meaningful path working with children at Liberty Christian School. Every day, I feel blessed to share my faith with the students and encourage them to grow in their own unique gifts and talents.
