Being involved in EIDS and working on projects that help people with Down syndrome, their family, friends, and the community makes my heart happy.  I used to be a teacher so getting to teach others about Down syndrome and organize events/data is a passion I have always had.  

I was born and raised in Seattle, went to college at Gonzaga in Spokane, and then moved to Idaho Falls with my husband after graduating from college.  We have three kids, 8, 5, and 2 years old that keep us busy.  Our five-year-old Eli has Down syndrome.  We love him (and our other two) with all our hearts.
