I was born…
in the southwest Suburbs of Chicago…Naperville.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets, the weather, the scenery, the sunshine, and NO humidity.
I’m listening to…
my daughter belt out tunes from the Frozen soundtrack.
My family…
is amazingly supportive of all my goals & dreams.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Oprah – I would love to talk to her about her beginnings and how she created such a huge empire.
One thing I cannot live without…
iced coffee – the only thing that keeps me running throughout the day. The best is Kaleidoscopes iced coffee, YUMMY! I have to get it anytime I’m in Old Town.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a marine biologist. I love the ocean and the creatures in it!
I’m inspired by…
the clients I see as an Occupational Therapist (my other job). They overcome huge barriers to regain independence and a normal life.
The one person who motivates me is…
myself. I have pretty high standards for what I want to accomplish in life and the only person that helps or stops me in my quest is myself.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
such reliance on technology. I can’t do my job without it but sometimes it drives me crazy that we can’t have normal conversations anymore.
The perfect day would be…
workout, iced coffee, hike with the family, and happy hour outside on a patio with my hubby.
My first job was…
a hostess at a Bakery shop in Naperville, IL.
My favorite escape…
hiking Cathedral Rock Trail in Sedona. It always clears my mind and makes me appreciate my spot in the universe.
My life…
is busy but amazing. Everything in my life has led me where I am today and I appreciate the journey.
I’m currently working on…
making FIT[tbd] available throughout the Valley with the best studio options for exercise!
Always…
get at least 6 hours of sleep.
Never…
stop trying.
Favorite Quote…
simple but effective – “Do less, be more”.
Biggest Dream…
health & happiness for my kids.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
drivers in AZ that don’t wave when you let them in – it’s like they think you slowed down for no reason, ugh!
