I JOINED THE MILITARY RIGHT AFTER 9/11...

I joined the military right after 9/11, as I felt it was my duty to serve my country. I met my husband in Japan, my first duty station, we were quickly married, had kids and lived in Iceland and Germany. He was medically retired in 2012 and he sadly passed away (took his life) in 2017. Shortly afterwards, I got back into Mustangs to reconnect to myself. I also started volunteering with Adopt a Soldier Platoon in Fair Lawn, NJ and attend their big gala event every year. Last year I led the Veterans in the Spartan Pledge.

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

My first car was a 1994 Mustang 5.0 that I loved to street race and drive around town in as a teenager. Fast forward to 2018 and I got a 2017 5.0. Loved it, but then I wanted something a little faster and more comfortable. Got a 2019 Bullitt and absolutely loved it. Took it down Tail of the Dragon on my way back from All Ford Nationals in 2021. There I met Justin Hooks, a former Marine, and we started dating and are doing great. Sold the Bullitt and bought this 2020 Mustang GT. It was his car that another shop had tore up. We took it to Parker

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

Performance in New Port Richey, who spent two years building it from the ground up.

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

We just got it back, after two years, and loving every minute of driving it. I came up with the Joker/Harley Quinn wrap idea and our friend Nick with Premier Auto Styling brought it to reality. For me, my happy place and stress relief, is driving my car and listening to music. It is the best feeling in the world.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
