Hey! I'm so glad you're here and hopefully to join the Hearty Heros! After nearly 20 years of loving the American Heart Association, let me tell you a little bit of my 'why'. It's simple...

I support the American Heart Association because I want to be here for the long haul — for my children, for my family, and for the moments that matter most. I want to live life to the fullest, with energy, purpose, and health. Supporting the AHA means helping create a world where fewer people are lost to heart disease and stroke — and where more people have the knowledge and tools to take control of their health. That knowledge and those tools can inspire generational chains to be broken - what an impactful story to be a part of. Truly impacting people lives in the moment and for generations to come. That is also why I'm passionate about hands only CPR and CPR education overall - you truly never know when you'll be called into action. 

It’s about empowerment — encouraging others to know their numbers, make healthier choices, and prioritize their well-being. If I can help even one person avoid a preventable tragedy, then it’s worth every step. This mission isn’t just personal — it’s powerful. And it’s how we build a healthier future, together.
