Personal Information

I am blessed with two wonderful children, and my husband and I have been happily married for 26 years. We recently moved to Kentucky to enjoy my husband’s passion for hunting and to take advantage of the milder weather after living in upstate New York—where snowfall is measured in feet rather than inches.

We now live on a farm in the countryside and love watching the wildlife around us. I also have two dogs who are more like our children than pets.

Spending time with friends and family is very important to me, and we stay active with exercise, hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, and traveling whenever we can. My last two jobs in New York were long-term positions, and one of the things I enjoy most about work is building meaningful relationships with people and co workers.
