Hi.
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, spent several years in New York City, have an actual and legitimate fear of windmills, and will defend the Oxford comma until my last breath. I am a history nerd and love all things antique.
​
I’m a humanitarian; the world is not changed by our opinions, but by our actions. I'm a foster and adoptive mother, host family with Safe Families for Children, and I founded two nonprofits: Central General Store (a network of little free food pantries) and Safe Park Indy (the first safe parking program in Indiana for homeless Hoosiers living in their cars.) I'm an ally, advocate and feminist.
​
The greatest accomplishment I will ever achieve is being mom to the most wonderful kid in the world, my best friend and son, Jack.
