About Me :
I am a 25-year-old female, working in the non-profit sector for a Christian organization called Christian Reformed Home Missions. I work with donors in cultivating relationships and securing major gifts as a Development Officer. I love my job, and the donors I have the priveledge of interacting with each day.
I am married to Aaron - a financial planner with Waddell and Reed, a small financial firm. Aaron and I were married in the summer of 2007 - and have enjoyed the new months of marriage. It is quite an adventure.
Together we enjoy traveling, biking, tennis, spending time with friends and family, and a great glass of wine.
