11. What's in a
name?
We moved to Cherokee County, GA
in 2006 when our oldest son was
less than a year old. During his
early years, we went on countless
playdates and one of the playdates
took place at a local farm. A goat
jumped on the table and started
eating his Pirate Booty. He wasn't
bothered by the goat and that was
the very moment our emotional
connection to the county was
established. That image has stuck
over the years hence the name
#goatmatters.

12. I was born in Latvia, formerly part of the Soviet Union and moved to the United States in
1980, during the cold war era. My father worked very hard to provide for our family, not
taking a day off of work his first five years in the USA. Because of my father, I have
developed a solid work ethic and learned to overcome adversity like losing out on having
a mother due to her mental health in my early childhood and taking preventative steps to
ward off cancer.
My husband, Matt, of 17 years is also my very best friend. Together, we have two
beautiful boys who both overcame learning disabilities of their own through a strong
partnership with the school(s) + medical community along with three dogs, two fish tanks
and a lizard.
In May of 2018 I took some much needed time for myself. I rekindled my love of running
and trained for and finished my first full marathon. Through my 18 mile outdoor runs, I
rediscovered just how beautiful Cherokee county is!
I have also become an active member of our community, serving those in need through
various nonprofit organizations including the Atlanta Track Club, St. Jude,High Museum,
Habitat for Humanity, Girls on the Run, Kate's Club and the Alliance Theatre.
When I am not working, I love running! I have competed in countless races including five
half marathons and recently completed my first full marathon! I am now training for my
second full marathon while raising funds for St. Jude.
