My passion to bring attention to social injustices affecting children, youth and families stems from my experience sharing a life of love, learning, and laughter with my amazing academic husband Bryan and our inspiring children – sons Ayden (16) and Taryk (14), and daughter Maylah (9), along with our three pets Cara the cat, dog Zoe and puppy Duke. Raising children who are caring, creative, and compassionate citizens is my most difficult and significant contribution – and by far the most rewarding!
