I bought my house in Willow Oaks December 2010 because it was in the Kecoughtan school district. I loved the established neighborhood, walkability (I love a sidewalk), and proximity to the park, grocery store, and my work. My brick rancher was everything I was looking for and I've loved the neighborhood ever since. 

I actually grew up here in Hampton (go Crabbers!). I married my high school sweetheart who was in the Air Force and we moved to Japan after I graduated. We eventually landed in Alaska where I lived and finished my degree (go Seawolves!) until he got stationed back on the East Coast. We are divorced, but always put parenting first. Family is important to us and we are fortunate to have all our children living in Virginia.

My time as a military spouse taught me a love of service and importance of being connected to your community. After I moved back to Hampton, I went to work for the City and I love being an integral part of my community. When I saw that the Board was having a hard time finding a volunteer for the Treasurer position, I knew I could help. Establishing budgets and contracts is part of my everyday life. ] My children are grown, but I have fantastic neighbors with young children that are using the pool, on the swim team, and enjoying our beautiful community. 

It takes a lot of time and work to have a nice community and it's expensive to have an operating pool. I look forward to working with my fellow board members and this wonderful community in order to contribute and keep it a wonderful place to live and play.
