Kiss a Pig Northwest Arkansas supporting American Diabetes Association®

Born in Conroe, Texas, and a 20-year resident of Northwest Arkansas. I reside with my husband, daughter, 2 dogs, and cat in Rogers. I have over 10 years of retail experience and am continuing to grow as part of the Traverse Group/Legacy Retail Solutions team.
At 6 years old, December 26, 1996, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. My blood sugar was over 700 when I was diagnosed, and December 26, 2024, will be my 28 year “diaversary”. I grew up with the disease and have experienced the highs and lows that come with it as I grew from a child to an adult. Today, I can confidently say that with strong support from my family and endocrinologist, I am healthy and thriving. I am a strong woman, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I love to run, work out, spend time outdoors, enjoy time with the ones I love most, and spreading joy. I desire in life to stay healthy (physically and mentally) as an example for my daughter of what it means to be a strong woman and how to overcome any challenge that come into your life.
