Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.

Conifer High School Ladies Soccer Mentoring and Support

I just love coaching the Pink Panthers Soccer Team.  I've been coaching for 3 years and have been on the Board of Directors for Altitude FC (the soccer organization/league) for 2 years.  The pay is great, not monetarily as I am a volunteer in both capacities, but in the knowing that I am having a positive impact on these kids.  The coach of CHS, Mark Friedrich, and I have been working together ever since I started coaching to bring in a mentor aspect getting his high school players and my elementary school players together to learn from and support each other. Here are THE PINK PANTHERS supporting the CHS Team at the seniors last home game.  The girls escort the seniors onto the field for a special ceremony then cheer the team on from the bleachers while eating their specially made soccer cookies (thank you Katie!)
