For over 20 years, I was a Supply Chain IT Leader. That was the only way I ever knew how to define myself. It was the only thing I thought I was. As a survivor of a ruptured brain aneurysm, I am now defining myself differently. I had to leave a successful career due to my health issues and now I am forging a new path and using a miraculous second chance at life to create my own way to happiness by advocating for aneurysm survivors and caregivers so they don’t have to do it alone. I am a feisty, quick-witted, sharp tongued woman who embraces sarcasm, self-deprecating humor, and often foul language. I love to be creative, whether I’m behind the camera, painting, or doing crafts. It is what calms me. I am a wife, daughter, sister, friend, and crazy cat lady who wants to inspire others in this beautiful life.
