OCCUPATION I’m an educational technology trainer for the Oklahoma City Public School District and an English and humanities professor at our community college.

FAVORITE QUOTE “Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (author of The Little Prince). This quote always reminds me of the shared goals for our life that my husband and I have. MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Cello—I started learning it as an adult. It has such expressive notes. It often complements my moods, and I love both the sadness and the joy it can convey. IF I COULD RELIVE ANY MOMENT I would give anything to be able to go back and mend my relationship with my father. He was killed in the Oklahoma City federal building bombing. I wish I could return to the last time I saw him and make sure he knew how much I loved him.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT
I grew up in a family where reading was an everyday thing, educating oneself was extremely important, and traveling occurred often—even if it was just to the beach. As I grow older and come in contact with people from various parts of the world, I understand how important it is that I not only learn about myself and where I come from, but also make a true effort to learn about others and their cultures. My husband and I have found some wonderful friends by remaining open to new things.

TALENT I WOULD MOST LIKE TO HAVE
I would love to be a sultry jazz singer or be able to play the cello like Yo-Yo Ma.

FAVORITE FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND
My beagle, Maggie, is the best hiking companion a person could have, and she loves begging at campsites for marshmallows, hot dogs, and pretty much anything else she can get her paws on.

SPENDING TIME TOGETHER
My husband and I will fire up the margarita machine, get a board game out, and spend hours around the table together.

FAVORITE DHC PRODUCTS
Quality sets DHC apart from other skincare lines I have used in the past. I use Mild Soap every day, all year long. It’s tried and true. Nothing else leaves my face feeling so clean and fresh. Olive Virgin Oil makes my skin feel like silk in winter and surprisingly balanced in summer. I don’t wear foundation, so Q10 Moist Color Base SPF 30+ in Pink is great for giving me a bit of color. I apply Eyelash Tonic every night and have seen an amazing difference in my lashes. They look longer and thicker. I just discovered Q10 Eye Cream. I love how it seems to moisturize and plump the areas under my eyes that are starting to show a few lines.
