My husband and I met in high school. I played both high school and club soccer. Rueiland’s uncle was the coach for my club team. One day Rueiland came to help coach and the rest is history. We married a few years later and have been married for 25 years.
We are a soccer family. My husband and I both play indoor and outdoor adult soccer. Our kids played for Santa Rosa united club team with our youngest still playing for them. We love the outdoors and like going to the beach.
We moved here about 24 years ago from Santa Cruz county. We have lived here in Windsor since then. Windsor is a great community to raise a family and we love that it’s very family oriented. We have made lifelong friends here from people we have worked with and from parents that we have met at our kids schools or sports activities.
My husband and I try to take our family on a yearly vacation. We both work hard to be able to make it happen. We love to be able to take them on this vacation and make unforgettable memories.
The qualities that we would pass on to our children are integrity, humility, strong work ethic and determination to succeed in life. We would like for them to become good members of society.
I am very happy with my career as a nurse. Nursing is a very rewarding career because you can see the impact you have on someone’s life. As a nurse I get to work one on one with patients and build a trusting relationship by providing compassionate care. I am able to comfort patients and their families after devastating news/diagnosis as well as celebrate good news. I love the constant learning and growth opportunity with my career and the sense of fulfillment that comes from helping others in their time of need.
