Tell us a little bit about your background – personal and/or professional.

I was born and raised in the Central Florida area and currently live in East Orlando with my husband (Walter), stepdaughter (Samantha), two dogs (Xena and Pelusa) and cat (Bumblebee). My parents, siblings, and in-laws all live in Central Florida as well as I spend a great deal of time with family. When possible, I spend time with my husband and daughter traveling outside the US. We love to travel and always take a big trip in the summer. Our favorite places have been Cusco, Peru; Zermatt, Switzerland; Florence, and London.

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

Reading and spending time with my dogs, visiting record stores, and being outside with family or friends.

What might someone be surprised to learn about you?

I have an irrational fear of alligators.

Why did you become involved with AFSP-CFL?

I lost a close friend in 2011 and have been volunteering with the Central Florida Chapter since 2012.

What was your first introduction to AFSP?

The Orlando Out of the Darkness Walk (Kudos, Vicki!)

What is one of the most important things you would share with the community about AFSP?

While there are other, fantastic suicide prevention organizations, AFSP is the lead in key areas such as research, loss and healing programs, advocacy and education. They are focusing on prevention on ALL FRONTS!

What are three unexpected items in your office?

I don't think there is anything unexpected, except maybe a Nespresso machine.
