I was born and raised in Albuquerque and have lived in Rio Rancho since 1985.

I’m retired from the City of Albuquerque and have volunteered for Rio Rancho Public Schools, Cibola Little League and Presbyterian Hospital. I currently volunteer at the Information Desk at Rust Medical Center on Monday mornings.

I adopted Wilson from Watermelon Ranch in September of 2014.  At that time I had a granddaughter who was 2 and an elderly father. Wilson was so good with both of them, that I decided to sign him up to be a Therapy Dog.  He went into training to be a Therapy Dog in May of 2016.  We spend time at Rust and Beehive Homes – Volcano Cliffs.

I am proud of the work High Dessert Therapy Dogs do and I enjoy ask the great people I’ve met.
