About Me

Hello, all: I live on the far south side of Chicago near Calumet Park with my husband. I have two wonderful daughters. We have two dogs and a cat. My mother lives in Riverdale, Illinois and my father is deceased. I have four siblings, a sister and two brothers (one sister deceased). I am the second to oldest child, oldest girl. My parents really instilled the importance of family in us growing up. We did everything together, and to this day, we try to spend as much time as we can together. Last year we were able to vacation together in Indiana Beach. What a fun time!! If there is no reason to celebrate, we make up something. I will soon be celebrating 25 years with my current employer, Mayer Brown LLP. I am most grateful to Mayer Brown for giving me a chance back in l983, and continuing to afford me opportunities. Their support and encouragement throughout this process has meant a lot to me. I have been very fortunate to work with such good people at such a prestigious firm. I am honored at having the opportunity to share this venture with everyone. This is by far the most exciting adventure I have encountered in my lifetime thus far. I am sure I will be talking about this experience for years to come and am most grateful that you will be joining me every step of the way.

Interests:
I like to walk and go to a nearby Curves (health club) three times a week. During the warmer months, I walk around the track at a neighborhood high school. I spend most of my spare time talking with family since I don't have much time during the week. The thing I enjoy most is backyard bar-be-ques and park outings. I love the outdoors. Can hardly wait til summer.

 Visit to Prospective Locations 

Obtained list from Board of Education regarding abanoned property.  Visited each location to assess size of building,  accessibility to transportation, other businesses in each area, other centers, if any, need for center in various areas, churches, etc.   Attended  council meeting in my area to see what new developments are in the works.  I understand there will be big shopping mall just across the expressway from where I live coming soon.  So far all of this space has not been leased, sold or rented.  Will be attending another meeting on Thursday of this week to see if there are any new developments.

YMCA provided me with in depth information about their centers in a 50 mile radius.  Put together a "rough" draft of the services I anticipate being available at the center.    Spoke with Bob of Retirementjobs.com who is working on the plan.
