Funny that when you don’t agree with the craziness that is happening in our country, people think you are uneducated. I see a world that my gay friends and family are not protected. Where people that look like me fear ICE and I’m a naturalized citizen/ Veteran- this is WRONG!!!!

Ending D.E.I.? As a woman that has always worked in industries dominated by men I see the value of these programs- you have to be able to open a door - it doesn’t mean they give us a job, it’s just an opportunity to prove we belong. I am thankful to the Army, cable tv, and GCSAA

Saying goodbye to our girl- Sadie crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge yesterday. She gave us 9 years of love and laughter. A few days on the golf course- silly girl hated water- what lab hates water??? I’m sure going to miss her. Love you baby girl. My heart is broken!

It’s the day we have been looking for, yet hoped would never come! The last day at Lancaster Country Club, volunteering with such an amazing group of turf professionals. Saying goodbye , or till we meet again, just isn’t easy! @uswo2024 @syngentagolf @rainbirdgolf #gcsanj

You may not like the current admin. I don’t very much. But this is huge. For me personally it makes a gigantic impact. My bout with sepsis and a couple other issues have cost me way over 6 figures out of pocket and with that hassle my credit score died. I hope this pans out well.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Vice President Harris announces that medical debt can no longer be used to help determine your credit score. This is a big deal. Retweet so all Americans hear this incredible news.

Absolutely took the words from my mouth- I am out of my comfort zone, but I know the value standing up and being seen means. Thank you Syngenta for being a beacon for the women in the turf industry. Thank you to the men that see our value and give us an opportunity. @uswo2024
“I can’t be what I can’t see.” That’s what one female turf professional told Karen Proctor at a conference in #Australia, where just 1.4% of turf professionals are female. It’s a moment that made Proctor realize she needed to step out of her comfort zone and speak up as a female leader in the #golf industry. Karen features in an all-new episode of the Growing Golf podcast - out today.

Please do not suffer in silence, there are many people who truly care and would do anything to help get you through the toughest times of your life. Be kind and caring, it doesn’t cost a dime, but the value it brings is priceless!
Listen you all. And listen well. Depression, Anxiety and Addiction kills. It’s a killer. And not to be messed with. My thoughts are with Grayson’s family. And for everyone I know who suffers in silence. And mindful of myself.

Remember those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! Today is their day, as a Veteran I give honor to those that fought for us as well as by my side. God bless the USA!

When you lose someone that has helped shape your career, it hits you. Where would I be if God had not placed them in my path. My dear friend, Tim Johnson told me to spread my wings and find my way in the turf industry. He gained his wings yesterday. I was blessed to know him!

Upstate New York Golf friends- if you could possibly help out some small town kids with a donation of a round of golf it would be greatly appreciated. Please message me for my sister’s contact information as she will handle the donation.

Passion for the turf industry is pulsating in our veins. What a career that has changed the life of each woman that finds her way into this field. I can’t imagine my life without these women I now call family! We have a desire to share what we can accomplish!
