I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My friends would say that I have an outgoing personality, my sense of humor is amazing, my heart is pure and that I am a Godly woman. They might also say that I love deeply and that I go above and beyond for just about anyone. At least that's what they tell me. I have great friends!!! God has really used them to strengthen my character. That's just life I suppose..."character building"!! I am originally from Northern Virginia and currently reside in the Valley of the Sun (Arizona). I absolutely love the desert!! I love my job as a Human Resource Manager...it is really a job about helping people and I really like doing that. I love my church...in being a part of something that is larger than me. It is amazing to feel connected to other people through something you have in common. There is a lot of peace in knowing that I am not all by myself in this world.
