What have you been up to since high school?: After completing my education at WEHS I took a job as a waitress for a while and stayed in the area. Married very early in life, motherhood came a little sooner than planned for me and overall I was blessed with 3 awesome kids, 2 sons, Aryk & Derick, and a daughter, Hollee. Choosing to be a a stay at home Mom until my youngest started 1st grade, after which I began working for Jewel Foods Store where I started out as a cashier then quickly moved on to an HR position where I maintained the hiring and training for the Lakehurst store for over 18 years.(Lakehurst Mall, who remembers that? Best.Mall.Ever! Right?!) While working PT at Jewel I also followed my passion and formed a band know as "Exit South". I had been in several bands since HS but starting Exit South went beyond my expectations, we excelled to become one of the top country bands in the Lake County area at the time working closely with Chicago's US99 radio station and having the privilege of opening for Diamond Rio, Sawyer Brown, Suzy Bogus,David Lee Murphy, Patty Loveless and Lee Greenwood.

In 2001 I took a new job and was hired on as a Plant Administrator for Calpine Corp., which at the time was a new power plant that was being built in Zion, IL. In 2004 I was promoted from within to where I now serve as Business Manager for the Zion, IL plant as well as the Business Manager for our sister plant Rockgen Energy In Cambridge, WI.
What are your current hobbies and interests?: I’m retired from breeding Yorkshire Terrier puppies after 11 years wonderful years, raising those precious fur babies was a hobby that I thoroughly enjoyed. I also enjoy music, landscaping, fishing, cruising and spending time with my 5 grandkids. I love the Caribbean, and hope to be able to retire in St. Thomas USVI someday.
