About:
I was born and raised in Dover-Foxcroft. I graduated from Foxcroft Academy in 2004. I met my husband here 20 years ago. I am a mom of four and when I'm not helping out at seeds, I'm either reading a good book or working on house projects. My favorite tool to use on projects is a drill as it is so very versatile.
