Originally from Toronto, Canada, she moved to the States when she was eight years old. Wanting to be closer to her grandparents, her parents chose to move to Miami. She went to FSU after high school graduation and studied elementary education, fell in love and then got married. They were married for 57 years and got to travel together-spending 10 years in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and three in Guatemala. After coming back to the States, her husband got transferred back to Guatemala as the Head off Pan Am for Central America. She has three children: two boys and a girl and they bring her so much joy. She has always loved twirling batons, playing the cello, and compiling different recipes for drinks by the pool. This brought to life her idea: The Ultimate Poolside Snack Book. She created this neat recipe book that has drinks that accompany each snack. She wrote all the recipes and took all the pictures for her book. She lives by “be true to yourself”. This shows in her unapologetic attitude about who she is and what she represents. She is full of kindness, compassion and laughter. We are blessed to have her here!
