What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my sons grow into kind, productive young men destined to change the world despite their hurdles or disability.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

Many fond memories but one that I will never forget is how they showed up for their Grandmother when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. They were gracious, caring and loving making her feel more like her old self. They would often insist on bringing her flowers her absolute favorite.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning this $20,000 means that I can continue to help my children by paying for graduate Film school for my oldest and undergraduate for my youngest who is pre-med. I am proud to have worked several jobs and taken on numerous consulting jobs to pay for my oldest son’s college. He just graduated from Arizona State University completely DEBT FREE!!! I never see Single Mothers win contests like this. It would be wonderful to see a single mom honored, who travels down this road alone.
