VICE PRESIDENT

In 2011, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was important to me to find survivors and those that supported survivors. Thankfully I found Sue’s Gift right away. I’ve been volunTEALing for them ever since. I became a board member because I know how important this organization is to the community. It’s been so rewarding to watch the organization grow from a $25,000 a year budget to what it is today.

In my spare time I love to read, hike and camp with my dog Coco. I am a Realtor serving the Pikes Peak Region.

TREASURER

I was diagnosed with stage 1B cervical cancer in December 2022, as well as thyroid cancer a few months later. After my surgeries and treatment, I wanted to help others who have also been recently diagnosed with gynecological cancer, so I started volunteering as a mentor through The Woman To Woman program with Sue’s Gift in July 2024. As a mentor, we not only help and support our mentees, but also one another. I have met so many incredible individuals, their friends, and their families through Sue’s Gift. I’m grateful and honored to be part of this wonderful organization to represent the community and those also affected by cancer.

In my free time, I love to read, watch movies, spend time with our five fur babies, bake, and craft with diamond art.
