About Me

Born on the Fourth of July, my family should have known I would be a firecracker for it's the day when most Americans celebrate our nation’s freedom. For my family that day was certainly a celebration, but in the weeks that followed, it was also filled with great fear and obstacles that many doctors were unsure I would overcome. Deep within me is a passion to help, to be able to make a difference in the lives of other sick children is what I set out to do. I have personally raised over $90,000.00 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. While my time supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is my personal priority, I also make sure there is time for other volunteer projects. I founded, The Toy Clean-Up Project when I was ten years old. Starting out with a garage sale and now on our 6th annual golf tournament. I hope you take a few minutes to read some of the amazing moments over the years.
