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.

Dress for Success, 9-11 Reflection



One Pearl at a Time - In honor of all the victims and heroes of 9-11, Dress for Success (DFS) clients in South Central PA reflect upon the 10th anniversary of that tragic day and pay tribute to the countless men and women who demonstrated not only courage under fire, but more importantly grace under fire.

DFS clients have also faced great adversity, yet shown remarkable courage. In honor of their firm resolve to improve the quality of their lives, I was honored to present DFS clients fresh water pearls on their behalf; A reminder of their own resilience and transformation.

A special thank you to Ruth Koup and Rabiya Khan for inviting me to be a part of this special day and to Debi Swarner for being the master facilitator! :D
