How I want to participate in PowerHouse
I think its important to form relationships in order to build a network that encourages collaboration rather than competition. I am a firm believer that bridging views and crossing boundaries creates cohesiveness. I'm looking forward to meeting a strong community of PowerHouse women and being inspired and motivated by what others are doing to leave their mark!

Let's see. A little about myself.

Fabric (event though I can barely sew). An organized fridge (mine never seems to be the case). A juicy CHR burger. Sleeping. Gardening. Boss ladies.
I dislike.....Dry hands and dirty finger nails (which I always seem to have). Subzero temperatures. Indecisiveness. Washing dishes. Clutter. The wind (not to be mistaken for a breeze). Flying. Emptying the dishwasher. Weeds.
