Growing up, I lived in various parts of Maryland. After high school, I traveled with a church group to Poland for the summer, then I spent a year at a bible college in Dallas, and shortly thereafter, moved to Texas for good! Eventually my husband and I settled in the Austin area where we have three beautiful children.
My professional background is in bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation where I have over 30 years experience. I also completed a two-year training course in solar energy and PV design and installation. However, without an electrical background, it has been difficult to utilize this training.
In 2012, I became active in the firearms industry and began competing in IDPA matches. Shortly thereafter, I started working at an indoor gun range, and eventually, I became certified as a Firearms instructor and a Texas License to Carry instructor.
More recently, I became a bookkeeper and launched Tactical Honey where my goal is to connect landowners with healthy, sustainable honeybee practices. I offer beekeeping services for property owners seeking tax savings through hassle-free, turn-key bee leases, as well as swarm captures, colony removals, and consulting to help people care for bees with confidence and care.
With a busy life, there’s not much free time. But whenever possible, I try to spend time with my family and count my blessings every day.
