A little about me: I grew up in a small farm town and on my parents’ “fun farm,” where we raised chickens, rabbits, and pigs for our family. Those early experiences shaped my love for gardening, growing my own herbs and spices, and hands-on learning for children. I bring that nurturing, experiential perspective—along with prior board service with the YWCA of Syracuse and Onondaga County and as the first Policy Chair of the Jamesville-DeWitt School Board—to support the mission of Live Learn Play.

• I love cooking with herbs and spices I grow myself.

• My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, for its focus on gratitude, family, and community.
