After becoming a mom in 2010 and moving to Texas, she put her career on the sidelines and changed her role to preschool teacher so she could spend more time with her boys. She has since held a few technician jobs over the years at local veterinary hospitals in the Houston area before opening the family business. When she’s not working or chasing the kids, her hobbies include raising butterflies with the family, playing with their flock of chickens, and volunteering at the boys' school. At night she can be found curled up under a blanket with the family cats, Jim Bean and Whiskey Tango, who always make sure she is up bright and early each morning! Their family is complete with a chocolate lab named Dakota Rose, a chihuahua named Izzy, and two ferrets, Emmy and Daisy.
