Those who know me describe me as vibrant with a zest for life. I was born outside Boston, raised in New York, and moved to Florida with my family. I graduated from Miami Dade College, The Fashion Institute of Technology, and Florida International University with a BS in Apparel Merchandising Management. My interest in travel has allowed me to vacation in Europe, Israel, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. A few of my favorite places to visit in the United States are California, Colorado, and Vermont. I lived in New York, New Jersey, and Frankfurt, Germany ultimately relocating to Boca Raton where I settled to raise my son and daughter. I love to plan adventures to explore new places, especially countries abroad, visit museums, explore the local culture, taste the cuisine, and enjoy libations. Nature strolls, bike riding, and gardening are my hobbies. Autumn is my favorite season. I am an animal lover and avid animal activist.
