Location: Onancock, VA

Member: yes.  Since 6/23

Family and Background:  I grew up in New England and have lived on the Eastern Shore for 15 years where my husband and I have raised our son. Spending quality time with family is very important to me, especially around the dinner table. I also enjoy yoga, swimming, gardening, walking outdoors, and perfect summer days. I love anything French and I really love finding joy in the little things.

What inspired you to pursue the career you have today?  Coaching and encouraging others is what I do naturally.  I started researching a coachiing career and then I remembered that I had considered becoming a coach before I was married.  The timing was right this time because our son was a teenager and I was ready to pursue my dream.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?  It wasn’t advice.  It was how I lived my life.  I am very glad that I traveled a lot when I was younger. 

What is your favorite Eastern Shore activity?  I love to go to Chincoteague.  That is a special treat.  I also love walking around Onancock and I do that every day.

What is the one thing you would tell your younger self?  Listen to your heart and pursue your dreams.  It doesn’t matter what other people say.  You should pursue your dreams, even if it seems difficult.  Find a way so you are fulfilled and pursuing a career and a life you love.

What is your favorite holiday tradition?  I love Christmas but my favorite part of Thanksgiving is going around the table and saying what you’re thankful for.   We did it last year and awarded prizes.  It was a mix of heartwarming and funny moments.
