She has many roles, all of which puts others before herself. 

She’s a mother to two incredible daughters, she’s a wife who’s supported and encouraged the pursuit of dreams, she’s worked EMS on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, She spent two years as a cadet and was a Captain in the same Fire Science program as me, she came up with our Brothers In Battle name, she designed our logos, she’s got more time grinding, cleaning and dressing halligans and axes than anyone I know, she’s got more hours on the chop saw cutting 1x2s for our door props than I could ever count, more trips loading and unloading the BIB trailer than I can count, pushing a broom in the shop, bringing lunches, logistics, and forgotten materials and needed ems supplies to our classes, running registrations and handling waivers, days upon days at home alone or being a single parent while I’m alway traveling to teach, helping birth the idea of Firemanship Conference Portland and putting hours upon  of love, blood, sweat and tears into it every year, working in the rain, heat, and freezing conditions to help with logistics and hot sites, to organizing and working into the we hours of the morning coordinating efforts and putting her personal touch in so many areas to make sure our conference feels different than any other conference out there. 

She’s our spiritual warrior, guiding light and compass ensuring our focus and purpose is not lost and that God is glorified in all that we do.

She truly believes in and understands that 
our mission is THEM, and they come first!

This just scratches the surface.
