Hello neighbors! I’ve actually been serving as the Membership Chair for the past year, but haven’t had a chance to introduce myself! I have lived in Timbergrove with my two kids since 2016, first in a rental home on Nashua, before purchasing our home on Queenswood in 2017. Like probably all of you, we love the friendly community, the beautiful trees and natural spaces, and the convenient location. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas, along with a law degree from the University of Houston. I spent almost 20 years as a trial lawyer, before leaving law firm life to become a mediator. It turns out that I would rather help people get along than help them fight! This career shift has also allowed me to spend more time with my kids. My daughter started high school this year, and my son started middle school, so I know I don’t have much time before they’re all grown up. You might see me around the neighborhood walking our big Doberman, or in our front yard helping my son practice whatever sport has caught his attention that week. (Past interests have included football, soccer, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and even cricket, so who knows what might be next?!) Feel free to say hi—we love meeting our neighbors!”
