This is my family.  I am the mom of two daughters.

That’s me on the far right, next to my husband.












I am the proud mom of two girls, and I am passionate about issues related to reproduction and mental health.  No one deserves to suffer!


When I can get away, I enjoy scuba diving with my family in warm tropical waters.  I have taken the photos on this site, so I can enjoy and share the beauty of the underwater world.
