I like spending time outdoors, connecting with family and friends, reading books, doing volunteer tax work, and facilitating self-reliance classes. My favorite Aggie ice cream flavor is salted caramel!

My hubby and I have 5 boys, 2 daughters-in-law, and the cutest Shih-Tzu ever. I love hiking in the mountains and spending time near the ocean. I love homemade bread (though I'm still learning how to make it so it's not rock hard), reading, playing and teaching piano, cross-stitching, sewing and writing.

I met with the money management center when I was worried about how to pay for my fall tuition. They lended an empathetic ear while I explained my unique financial situation, then he explained what financial assets I do have access to and what cost saving strategies I could utilize to maximize my dollar. They didn't rush my appointment at all and assured me that although I'm in a tough situation there was a way to pay for my last semester of school. I found the visit to the money management center to be very beneficial and it assisted me in making my financial decision for fall semester.
