“Growing up in Northern Virginia, I was always outside riding my bike, playing with the neighbors, and actively involved in sports. I played travel soccer, basketball, softball, field hockey and even did a few years of piano and gymnastics. I am a new mom and look forward to playing with my children outside. As an adult, I still enjoy outdoor activities, family game night, and playing with our dog.”

“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.”
