The people who mean the most to me have shaped every part of who I am. My grandfather, my hero, and a proud Marine instilled in me the values of honor, discipline, and courage. His legacy is the fire that fuels my mission. My husband, a veteran himself, has stood beside me through every high and low. He doesn’t just support me, he strengthens me. He understands the weight of service, sacrifice, and rebuilding dreams after the uniform. And my kids… they are my everything. I want them to see that their mom never backed down from building a better life. That she pushed through the hard stuff, led with love, and turned every challenge into a reason to rise.
