Attended Western Illinois on a basketball scholarship and studied Psychology/Biology. I have been married for 14 years to John and have two children. Their names are Bryce (11) and Brody (7). They both attend Christ Lutheran School. I am a member of St Peters Lutheran Church in East Peoria and am very active with the Family Life Ministry and the Youth programs.

 

Due to medical reasons, I was unable to finish nursing school or X-ray tech school but only have a semester to go to have my degree. Since I am no longer able to lift, due to my back injury, I am now attending Midstate College on a full-time basis to get my Business Administration Bachelors degree with an emphasis on the healthcare field.

Hobbies:  I love to scrapbook, cook with Pampered Chef, and stamp. I also coach basketball, girls junior high and Biddy Basketball, ages kindergarten through second grade. My kids are my life!
