On a Personal Note
I was born in New York City and lived in eight states throughout my life in the United States. Starting over in new locations is natural and part of who I am.
I am an extrovert and a Type A personality. While all of us hit bumps along life’s journey, it is not what happens to us but rather how we react and get back on track.
My two sons bring me joy, happiness, and laughter. I count them as my greatest success.
In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, exercising, and sharing time with family and friends.
