I was born in Huntington, New York and have lived throughout the world. My father retired from the Air Force and we settled in Orlando. That’s where I met my husband of 30 years, Joe.

My career in long term care started at Carriage House in Newport, Rhode Island in 1994, and continued with a move to St. Petersburg. I am a certified Risk Manager in the State of Florida. I lives in St. Petersburg. I have five children and one grandchild.
