I was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania and spent a good portion of my childhood in St. Croix, U.S.V.I. I grew up in the Clearwater area and graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Florida where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing. I have been working and volunteering at Independent and Assisted Living Communities since I was 14 years old and have had many years experience working with people of all ages.

I spend most of my free time with friends and family in our many unique towns and enjoying our sunny Florida beaches.
