I first became involved with APO in June 2007 as a volunteer in the office. After seeing the hearts of the staff and the work that APO did with the girls who came to them, I knew that I wanted to become a more active participant on a daily basis. I had previously worked with a maternity ministry in Austin, TX, before marrying and moving to College Station in 2003. I am so excited to be back once again working with an organization in making a brighter future for children. 
I had previously worked for over 20 years in the healthcare field with children. I have a heart to help give them a healthy start and the best life possible. I believe that here at APO, they are given both of those opportunities.
I have been blessed with five wonderful children, two of whom I gave birth to, and three I was blessed with when I married Steve in 2003. We now have 5 grandchildren! We attend Grace Bible Church in College Station, TX, and enjoy giving back to our community. We enjoy traveling, adventure, family gatherings and quiet time in nature enjoying all the beauty God has painted for us.
I enjoy getting to see the many families that come through APO be blessed with the skills to parent their own babies and the families who are blessed with their forever babies and have their hearts and lives filled with the joy and love that every parents desires to feel.
