Work Life:
I sold insurance in a State Farm office before having babies. My true career and passion was stay-at-home-mom. Now that I am an empty nester, I enjoy a day filled with exercise, time with friends, cooking, volunteering in various capacities, and taking classes on any and all topics (tax-financial seminars, life-coaching groups, cooking classes, etc.)
The biggest lesson I’ve learned through my iGnite experience…
It's two-fold. First, it only takes 45 minutes of hard/focused work to get an efficient workout. Second, working out with positive, intelligent, kind women really feeds me.
Who inspires you most and why… Intelligent funny people really inspire me. I can't sum it up to one person. Luckily I have many of these people in my life.
If I were ice cream, I'd be... Coffee
If I were a pair of shoes I'd be... Boots in winter and sandals in summer
My celebrity look-alike is…
Barbara Streisand
If I am looking forward to....
Hosting more iGnite functions and spending time with iGniters outside of class
My favorite color is...
Royal Blue
Something people may not know about me is...
I have done triathlons since the year 2000. I do one or two a year, but not competitively anymore. I now look at the races as a great goal to accomplish and get an awesome workout in. I am also trying out my skills as a Juice Plus representative. I was just recently presented with this opportunity and look forward to getting my feet wet. Lastly, I offer cooking classes in your home or mine.
