Through most of my working career, I worked in male dominated industries. I had to work hard to move up the ladder and earn my place. I spent 10 years with Sportsmans and up until recent years the outdoors industry catered to men. Being in management for companies like this was challenging because people viewed me as too soft. It’s been nice seeing times change to include women in these industries.

My family is Italian. I enjoy big family gatherings which typically take place with food at the center. When celebrating the holidays, the door is always open and you never know who will be sitting next to you at the table. We do this every year and the company is always a very diverse crowd. I hope in the future to bring this tradition into my home.

I was raised by a very devoutly catholic family. Living here in Utah where the cultural norm is LDS it was challenging to make friends. All of the Men I have dated in Utah were raised in family with religious backgrounds in the LDS church. This has made some challenges when it comes to family gatherings and even religious beliefs.

I am a single mom this cute little girl. Her name is Tegan. Once I became a mom it really took over a lot of my identity. Hobbies and interests are consumed by her and raising her. I wouldn’t change it for the world but it’s absolutely shaped my life and where I am at.

I grew up in West Yellowstone, Montana. Growing up in a rural area means there isn’t a lot to do unless you enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy hiking and fishing. I also believe conservation and taking care of the Earth and our natural resources are very important. I think this is because growing up next to Yellowstone Park and making money off of the tourism allowed me to value the area at my finger tips.
