September 23rd ValleyFest Hearts of Gold Parade

Friday night I was able to ride in the Hearts of Gold Parade kicking of ValleyFest 2011 in Spokane Valley.  The people and weather were amazing.  I was joined by Mrs. Spokane County, Amy Clark, on the back of a Eclipse thanks to the Appleway Auto Group.  Thank you to all the volunteers and parade goers who made this evening possible.



Big Brothers & Big Sisters Bowl for Kid's Sterling Style

I was joined by fellow Sterling Savings Bank employees as we played hookey from work and went bowling to benefit Big Brothers & Big Sisters.  Fun was had by all ~ even those on my team who suffered through my double digit bowling average.

About Me

My photo
Spokane, Washington, United States
Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
