I am a happy wife and full-time UX designer who has always enjoyed music. God has used music in my life to give me encouragement through very difficult times, to meet me where I am at and tell me I am loved. Through my life songs have taken me back to those moments, or transported me to places I could only imagine. Music is the glue that keeps me connected to the relationships that matter most to me. I have also always enjoyed singing. When I was 6 years old my mom got me a Karaoke and a Bett Miller CD, since that day I have always enjoyed raising my voice in song. My favorite time to sing is in the morning, and my favorite tunes are hymns or songs God has used in my life to bring me encouragement. I hope that I can encourage others in the same way through song. I'm a strong believer that anyone can sing well, so long as that person has the willingness to learn, singing is a skill just like many other areas of life.

I get to release all the pain, the aches, the depression and the anxieties this disease brings on. I am forever thankful that I get to sing and also be part of something greater than myself like sINgSPIRE. " "Cystic Fibrosis can take my breath away, but it will never have my voice.
