I relocated to the North Shore suburbs of Chicago just over 5 years ago and have enjoyed getting to know my new hometown. I am a ‘southerner’ having grown up in Birmingham, Alabama and a proud graduate of Auburn University. Over the span of the past 15 years, I moved from Charlotte to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, to Chicago, while volunteering at every school district and chairing several fundraisers. I am a former marketing executive with IBM, but have spent most of the last two decades as a stay-at-home Mom and community volunteer and have loved every second of it! My husband, Francois, and I have been married for over 30 years and have three beautiful, adult children. With an empty nest, we just made the move to Downtown Chicago to experience city living. Our second home is in Bluffton, South Carolina, and I am adding, aspiring golfer, to the many hats that I wear. I also enjoy tennis and pickle ball and traveling, and I am an avid sports fan with a particular interest in Auburn basketball!
