Comments:

I am very grateful to have a beautiful family: a loving husband of nearly 20 years, two daughters, and sisters and parents who are my best friends. I am winning my battle with cancer and wish to advocate for eradicating all types of cancer in my lifetime.

My eldest daughter, Elena, is a rising 9th grader and is very musically inclined. We were excited she had the opportunity to participate in this year's Ms. Teen Orlando Pageant on March 7th.

My youngest daughter, Sofia, loves to perform with the Chorus and we call her "Little Beyonce". She hopes to translate her love of music and dancing into musical theater.

My husband has worked steadily to grow his commercial sign business even during this difficult economy. We've been blessed to have a solid group of loyal customers and a good business network.

School Story:

I loved the comraderie at WLHS! The band members connected with athletes, who connected with the drama team who hung out with the madrigal singers and chorus. Therefore, the quarterback may be the male lead for a musical (i.e., "Pippin") and the jockettes played key roles in "Grease". The 1984 Choir won almost every award/honor in Montreal, so we kicked butt and shared it at home on stage!

My twin sister and I made life-long friendships at The Lake. We still see several of our friends when they come to Florida or we visit Maryland. Columbia was a wonderful place to grow up and I can't wait to see my friends again and swap funny stories about the past or our children.
