I was born in Massachusetts and moved to New Jersey as a teenager. I attended College for 2 years taking every drafting class and art classes they offered.
I worked in the hotel/travel/tourism industries. I was fortunate to be able to move to Bonita Springs six (6) years ago with my husband Thom.  My mother and step father have resided here for twenty (20) years. So, I am familiar with the growth and changes.
We purchased our home two (2) blocks from Downtown because we believe in the revitalization vision shared by so many.  We share our home with four (4) rescued cats and a German Shepard. We have a daughter, Cristina, 25, who now lives in Naples and teaches Ballet locally. She was dancing with a NY City Ballet Company when she was 15 years old.
I enjoy gardening, kayaking, photography and drawing and painting.
I hope that you will welcome my invitation to become more involved in Bonita Springs along with me.
