A mother of two and grandmother of one. She searches out, opportunities to enrich the lives of others in

words and deeds. Disciplines include background in marketing, social service, ministry, teaching, and currently

healthcare management. Hobbies are the simple things in life such as family, faith, and community. A typical

weekday for her is setting up at a local food pantry, shelter, community park or assisting case managers of

non-profits with their client’s healthcare needs. She travels throughout Sarasota, Manatee and Port Charlotte

County serving while assisting communities with health coverage and so much more.

An up close and personal example of her serving: Helping a Sarasota resident transition from homelessness

into shared housing with healthy food, cleaning supplies, health coverage and true friendship. Assisting a

senior with a ride to the local Walmart Market store and the list goes on.
