About Me

My Photo
Hanover, Pennsylvania
My husband Todd and I have been together 11 years and married for 6. My father, a retired Army Colonel inspired me to enlist in the military at 19 and I am a proud Gulf War veteran having served 9 years in the Air Force. In 2002 I left the military life and we planted our roots in Hanover, Pennsylvania. These days I'm still working for the Department of Defense as a civilian and spent 6 months of 2010 deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. As someone who grew up in a military family, served in the military, and continues to work closely with the military, I understand how critical a strong support system can be. That is why we as a family put our full support behind the Armed Forces Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides comfort and support to our military community when they need it most. www.armedforcesfoundation.org.

Armed Forces Day on City Island - Harrisburg, PA


Armed Forces Day is a day to honor Americans serving in the U.S. military and it also provides a glimpse into daily military life. Pennsylvanian's came out to show their support and visit with the more than 90 military agencies and veteran groups that transformed City Island into a bustling military base for the day. I was honored to kick off the Sound Off for Vets concert series, a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project, dress up my sister queens Julia Pauline and Kaitlyn Lucas in body armour, and show people how to work the seatbelts on a Blackhawk! Happy Armed Forces Day everyone!
