“As a child in Austin I exhausted my parents with my many interests. In between playing sports and hiking, I would bake sweets for my family and play the piano. Now, as an adult, I love to go outside road cycling, running and swimming with my time inside spent reading and cooking.”

“I am proud to say that I grew up in San Angelo and graduated from Central High School. As a little girl I loved to play with my baby dolls and pretend to take care of them in the hospital nursery. Now I enjoy playing dolls with my own little girl and caring for newborns in Shannon’s nursery. And I have been blessed to also have a son to play with all the fun boy things like Legos and baseball.”
