Bio

Many different experiences as I go through Life. I enjoyed being a Mental Health Consumer Advocate when I lived in SE Iowa 9 yrs. ago. Started my own support group called Peace of Mind.very successful!! Attended many Mental Health conferences around the state of Iowa. Met with Senator's and other lawmakers at the state Capital in Des Moines as a result of the Conferences. We lived in Iowa for 13 yrs. Love the severe weather! Iowa is my home state. I believe in Lifelong learning, our experiences in life help shape us into who we are. I loved the Air Guard, best years of my life!! Will add more information as time goes on.
