Favorite thing about Gainesville: There are too many things I love about GNV to pick just one. I love the warm spirit of the people, the cultural assets (Dance Alive is a favorite!) and the proximity to beaches and other cities. It also is midway from Tallahassee, where I lived for more than 25 years and Melbourne, which is where my husband’s family lives.
3 traits that best describe you: Tenacious, competitive and responsible
One thing you could not live without: My family
Something unique about you: I recently started painting. My maternal family is full of prolific artists, and so I decided to pick up a brush a few months ago. It worked! In a few hours, I had painted a boat.
