Hometown

Western Springs, Illinois

Places I've been

I was born in Rockford, Illinois, and spent my first 5 years there. My family moved to New York, Connecticut and back to the Chicago suburbs. After high school graduation, I went to 3 different colleges, the most notable...University of Hawaii, Honolulu. After living 3 years in Hawaii, I came back to Illinois and lived in the western suburbs of Chicago...Western Springs until 1999 when I moved to Phoenix. In 2002 I moved here to Mesa. In my lifetime, I've traveled to a majority of the 50 states. I've never been to Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, or some of the southeastern states. As far as travel outside of the U.S., the only country I've been to is Mexico. My working history includes substitute teaching, various office jobs...secretary, phone customer service, to name a couple. In 1981 and until the mid 1990's I pursued a career as a Mary Kay Independent Consultant. What an experience...leading to travel and incredible job satisfaction. After moving to Phoenix in 1999 I worked in a small boutique. Moving to Mesa made it necessary to change jobs. Here in Mesa I worked in a dinner theater. At the present my job options are open. I am looking for the "right" part-time job.

More about me

I'm living in Arizona...right where I want to be. I live every day to the fullest. Living here in the Valley means an active life with over 300 days of sunshine to enjoy. I spend my free time at the gym working out, walking or playing with my 3 small dogs, Ashley, Malcolm & Shamus, reading, on the internet, watching TV, visiting with my family, and enjoying leisurely activities with friends.  I've been fortunate enough to meet many wonderful people since arriving here in AZ in 1999. Before then, I lived most of my life in the Chicago suburbs.
