PROFILE
I am a creative old soul, I love
nostalgia, history, education, the
built environment and being Native
(Osage/Sac-N-Fox)
I am the mother of five children
ages 8, 10, 11, 24 and 27. My life
and lifestyle revolve around my
family. You will find us making
memories. We travel, explore the
outdoors, and are always on the
hunt to learn new things and seek
out adventure. Fun Fact: We took
a month-long National Park tour of
the Western United States, where
we visited 11 National Parks. Our
next “big idea” trip is to tour our
Sauk ancestral lands around the
great lake regions.
