I know many of you and have seen you grow since Kindergarten (and younger!)!Since I am along this journey with you this year, I've had many questions asked of me so I thought it would be a good idea to just write it all out so that not only your class benefits but also those that follow. First... when should I book my Senior ...

"fire season". And it's devastating.Not only ...

Wow, so glad to have 2020 behind us! What a year it was. Although devastating and sad in so many ways, there were also many silver linings for me.

During the down time, I chose to focus on the growth of my business and of course spend quality time with my family. Our ...
