My day is like…
I have four words for you: wife, mom, business owner. I think that says it all.
I was born…
To have it all (or as close as can be)
My favorite thing about Arizona…
No snow, at least in the Valley. I can’t handle cold. Plus, it’s hard enough to get my kids out of the house in the morning without having to think about gloves, boots, etc.
I’m listening to…
Lots of Kidz Bop and Taylor Swift – it’s what is playing at Girly Girlz all day!
My family…
is so supportive. From my husband and kids, to my mom, aunt and uncle – everyone is pitching in overtime to allow me to chase the dream of owning my own successful business.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
My sister. She was killed in a drunk driving accident in 2004 and I would give anything to see her again, and have her meet my kids.
One thing I cannot live without…
Sweets. I’m addicted to sugar.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
A singer/performer, ala Debbie Gibson.
I’m inspired by…
People who have gone through horrible or extremely difficult things in life but who are still able to see the glass half full.
The one person who motivates me is…
My husband. He believes I can do anything.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
Giving every child a parent to love and take care of them.
The perfect day would be…
Waking up leisurely, squeezes from my kids, breakfast at Arcadia Farms Café, time to watch my Bravo shows on the DVR, more squeezes, date night with my husband eating yummy food, dessert at Churn (sensing a theme here?!).
My first job was…
“Thank you for calling Rosati’s Scottsdale” Taking phone orders at Rosati’s on Shea when I was 15.
My favorite escape…
A beach, or closer to home: my bedroom with a lineup of TV shows to watch.
My life…
is full and fortunate.
I’m currently working on…
Bringing Girly Girlz to the next level! It’s going to be good…
Always…
say please and thank you.
Never…
say never.
Favorite Quote…
“That which does not kill you makes you stronger.” Cliché, maybe, but it applies to my life.
Biggest Dream…
To perform on a stage of thousands, like Madonna.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
inconsiderate people
