I was born and raised in Cleveland and have lived on the east, west and south sides of the city in addition to Chicago. My husband, Dennis, and  I raised our two children in the southern suburb of Brecksville.  They are now adults and continuing their professional education and working in the University Circle and Gordon Square neighborhoods of Cleveland. Dennis and I love to continually explore Cleveland and Akron by trying new restaurants, going to the theater, visiting museums, attending sporting events and riding our bicycles on the Tow Path.

I enjoy reading, cooking and volunteering at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in the the City of Cleveland where we are both members. On nice days I love to go walking within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park as well as the 18 reservations of the Cleveland Metroparks. We live in the beautiful town of Sagamore Hills.
