Community participation

I have been an active member of the Junior League of Madison since 2009. The Junior League of Madison is dedicated to serving area families through community programs that address the needs of women and children. In the past, I have served as Funding and Development Chair, Finance Vice President, President Elect Elect, President Elect, President and Immediate Past President. This organization has provided me many opportunities to grow my leadership and collaboration skills, while having a positive impact on my community. Additionally, Sky's Edge Wealth supports many other local community non-profits.

Interests

My husband Brent and I have been married for 18 years and counting, and have two beautiful children, Lauren (15) and Avery (12). In my spare time, you can typically find me in a gym or at a baseball diamond watching my kids play sports. We are avid Badger fans and try to attend as many football, basketball and volleyball games as we can. I enjoy participating in area "fun runs" and have completed 2 half-marathons!
