I support Life Choices because life is God-made and sacred.

1) How I found out about Life Choices...While scrapbooking with Reni, she told me about Life Choices.
2) I am interested in serving because...I am a trained ultrasonographer by profession and wanted to share this experience with expecting mothers. I believe that once an expecting mom sees her baby, the pregnancy becomes more real to her.
3) A few facts about myself...I graduated from Union City HIgh School in 1987, graduated from Jackson State Community College in 1989 with an Associate of Science in Radological Technology, then completed the ultrasound course in 1996. Benny and I have been married for eighteen and a half years and have five beautiful children.
4) Other areas of interest...I am an active member of West Dyersburg Church of Christ, where we serve on the youth advisory council. I am involved with Girl Scouts and volunteer at Dyersburg Primary School. I am an avid gardener and reader.
