I have been with MVN since 2018. My family is: husband Julian, children Cassidy and Kyle, son-in-law Nick and granddaughter Ocean (born 10/8/22). I love being a grandma! My favorite recent movies were Coda and King Richard and a classic fave is Wizard of Oz. The best vacation I ever took was adventuring in Costa Rica with some fellow hiking junkies. We hiked, kayaked, chased waterfalls, and marveled at the biodiversity. My first job was as a hostess/cashier and then a waitress at a Chinese restaurant. I grew up in Bloomington IN, except for a year each in Kyoto Japan, Bethesda MD and Hong Kong. Most of my adult life was spent in Pittsburgh, PA. My favorite hobby is hiking, and I have moved to hiking paradise here in Orange County. When I was little I was a dare devil. If I won the mega-jackpot lottery I would share my bounty with groups preserving open spaces and slowing climate change. The best advice I could give anyone would be “You’ve always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself” – Glinda in The Wizard of Oz.
