Hi, I’m Vickie! I’ve always had a heart for helping others and love seeing people grow and succeed in their own ways. Whether it’s offering support, encouragement, or simply being there to listen, I find so much joy in uplifting those around me.
When I’m not spending time with the people I care about, you’ll probably find me lost in a good history book, crocheting something cozy, or enjoying life with my husband and our dogs. They bring so much love and laughter into my world! For me, life is all about connection, kindness, and continuous growth, and I’m grateful for every moment of it.
