I was born and raised in Southern California and lived here all my life. However, when I retire, my husband and I plan on possibly moving out of state (somewhere where our money goes farther). My husband, teenage daughter and I love to travel—especially to tropical locations. We enjoy our two large dogs: A skittish Boxer and an overly friendly 100 lb Pit Bull/American Bulldog Mix. My favorite place to be is at the beach with my family.

Who is the best teacher you have had?

My parents. They taught me respect, kindness, work-ethic, and how to live within my means.

I would like to be alive when someone discovers the cure for cancer.
