When not at work at North Valley Bank, I am usually at home on the farm with my two dogs, Bella and Rue. I enjoy oil painting, crocheting and ceramics. I crocheted my nieces and nephews baby blankets, and various friends and family other things such as scarves and hot pads. Ceramics is my main focus; I enjoy hand building but am also well versed on the wheel.

I gained my passion for ceramics at The Ohio State University where I received an associated degree in studio art. I was also a member of the Sigma Alpha – Alpha chapter agricultural sorority and am still active as an alumni member.
