I am the proud mother of three wonderful sons and grandmother to seven amazing grandchildren.
My faith plays an important role in my life, and I believe in the power of prayer, gratitude, kindness, and treating people with respect.
When I'm not working, you'll often find me enjoying summer concerts in the park, listening to music, spending time with family, or cheering on the Dodgers.
Some of the values that guide me every day are faith, integrity, gratitude, service, perseverance, and compassion.
Life hasn't always unfolded exactly the way I expected. Like many people, I've experienced significant transitions,
including the end of a long marriage and the challenge of starting over in a completely new career.
Those experiences taught me resilience and reinforced a lesson I carry with me today:
Your past does not determine your future.
There is always hope.
There is always possibility.
And there is always another chapter waiting to be written.
If you've taken the time to read my story, I hope the next step feels simple.
