1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
My sweet family! My husband and children and of course our little pug, Lola…Let’s not forget my extended family too; I am one blessed individual to have my entire family close by. We spend lots of time together and are a great support to each other. I also smile when people work to overcome obstacles and challenges to accomplish their dreams and goals, and when I see random acts of kindness in progress.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Ted and I live on the Indian River on the East Coast of Florida, and we both love the water. My favorite date night is just the two of us cruising on our boat on a beautiful, calm night. We turn on the tunes and forget the stress of the week. After having dinner at a special waterfront destination, we enjoy the beautiful night sky together on the ride home. It’s absolute magic!

3.What do you love to cook and why?
To wind down, I like to play tennis or go for walks with my children. I also light candles anytime I’m home as a visual reminder to find peace and tranquility throughout my busy days…Prayer, meditation, art, and journaling helps me to refocus and recharge. On weekends to relax as a family, you will find us on our boat or in our backyard chilling in our hammock and swimming too!

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
I love experimenting with fashion, and depending on my mood and the event or destination, my look will change to suit! I’m a sporty fashionista, and whether I’m on or off tennis courts, my goal is to be polished, confident, and smiling. I’d have to say that my favorite go to look is classic and sophisticated with an edge. My style is eclectic, like my personality and I like that it’s totally me!
