My dad was my hero growing up. He taught me to be a strong, independent, and a kind human being. When I was 16, my dad passed away. For awhile, I was lost on where I wanted my life and career to go. I ended up leaving college and working full time and feeling like my options were gone.

While working at my job, I met the man who would be my future husband. He had a five year old daughter and I fell in love with both of them. My husband quickly found his dream job, and encouraged me to follow my dreams as well. He is my biggest cheerleader and I am so blessed to have him!

My husband and I got married and added two girls to our family. My husband encouraged me to finally finish school, and while I was nervous about being in my 30s and in college, I went for it and enrolled in the University of Arkansas online.

This year we added our final baby to our family. I am starting my senior year of college and hope to graduate in the next two years. I feel so lucky and blessed to be on this journey. I love I can show these girls that they can follow their dreams and be anything they want.
