Tell us about your family.
My husband Morey and I have been married for 17 years and have two beautiful daughters, ages 16 and 14. We’ve known each other since we were 14, met in high school, and were friends for 10 years before dating and eventually getting married. Our oldest, Roxanne, is in high school and plays softball and waterpolo. Our youngest daughter Hayden is in eighth grade and is following in my footsteps playing softball.

What is something most people don't know about you?
Back in the day, I was a pretty good softball player. I traveled all over the country to multiple different cities. The travel ball team I played for won a National Championship! My junior year of high school, I became a top recruit in my class and had multiple full-ride scholarship offers. I ended up landing at Long Beach State. I loved the school, it kept me in California, and it was close to the BEACH!
-
Do you have a hobby?
My favorite hobby is coaching my youngest daughter's softball team. I love being out on the field with all the girls. I spent the majority of my time on the dirt, so being out there with my daughter just feels like home. I also enjoy going to Lake Mohave during the summer and wakeboarding. I am also a beach lover. If the sun is out, and it is warm and I have a day off, that is where you will find me.
-
Do you have a favorite birthday memory?
My favorite birthday moment was when I turned 23. Morey and I went to New York to celebrate my birthday. My birthday is December 29th, so when we were there, all the Christmas decorations were up. It was absolutely magical. I hope to go back again someday.
-
What's the most interesting place you've ever traveled to?
My all-time favorite place I have been to is the Costa Brava region in Spain, specifically Tossa De Mar. This region is small strip of beach town cities in Spain. It is absolutely breathtaking. The culture of the people who live there are so nice and really live a beautiful life. And the food, the food is so good and fresh!
-
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
If I was a superhero, my superpower would be to duplicate myself. So I would have spitting image of myself that could cook, clean, taxi-cab the kids to and from school and sports. This may seem funny, but I'm sure all the moms know exactly what I am talking about!

If you were stranded on a deserted island, which three items would you want with you and why?
My family, water and a boat so that I could get home.
-
Do you have a proud accomplishment you would like to share?
My most proud accomplishment has been raising my two daughters to be honest, loyal, resilient, and hardworking young ladies.

What is your favorite thing about working at AA?
My favorite thing about working at AA is the people. I enjoy each and every one of you.
-
Can you share a favorite restaurant you recommend to your AA peers?
Captain Jacks in Sunset Beach. It is an old school restaurant with THEE best Alaskan king crab legs you will ever eat. The views are incredible also.
-
If you could meet a celebrity, who would it be and why?
I actually have two celebrities that I would like to meet. Hands down, Matthew McConaughy because I think he is a great Rom Com actor and I would love to hear his accented voice in person. And the second person I would like to meet would be Nick Saban, the former Alabama football coach. I would pick his brain on all mental aspects of sports. He is my all-time favorite coach.

If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?
I would learn multiple languages. I personally feel like being bi-lingual is such an asset for personal and professional reasons.
