And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

How long you've lived in Flagstaff: I lived in Flagstaff but moved down to Camp Verde in September of 2019.
How did you become involved with Sage Home: I learned about Sage Home through The Commons, the church I attended when I lived in Flagstaff. I loved the mission for Sage Home and have desired to work within the community to help with a drug addiction program. This desire comes from personal experience of losing my two sons ultimately to drug addiction. I do not have the clinical side but I have a strong business side with an accounting and medical billing background. This is where I am best able to contribute to helping Sage Home.
