More About Me:

I enjoy dancing, listening to live music, and attending fun family-friendly events in Tampa Bay with my husband and young children.  I am obsessed with all creatures great and small and have a 14-year-old orange girl cat named Rollie Pollie.  Occasionally, you can find me playing cello in a community orchestra or onstage in a play with the St. Petersburg City Theater or the Gulfport Community Players.
