1. Why is it important to you to be on the Pink Dragon Boat team?

The more time I spend with these ladies, the more I admire and respect each and every one of them. They are each a true “Warrior” in every sense of the word. The sisterhood that has developed in this group in a very short time is a blessing. The courage, strength and determination in each of these ladies tells me that as a team we will not only accomplish a great physical feat, but will also make great strides in giving back, paying forward, and teaching as many as we can, about breast cancer awareness. It’s an honor to be a part of these proud pink ladies.

2. What activities or hobbies do you enjoy?

I love dragon boating, riding my road bike, yoga, the beach, horse back riding, spending time with my puppy and most especially with my friends and family. There is nothing I enjoy more than to watch our son and daughter grow into these amazing little adults.

3. If you could have dinner with a famous person, who would it be?

Ellen DeGeneres because I know we would laugh and laugh and laugh.

4. Who is the person that has had the biggest influence in your life?

My Father. He taught me to stand tall, strong and always be the best I could be. He was in the hospitality industry and was always so good with people. He would light up a room when he walked in.

5. What would you like the team and WPFT to know about you or those in your life?

That I am grateful for each and every moment in my life. That it is no accident that we are where we are and together we are going to touch many lives and help each other through so much.
