I love spending time with my 2 girls, 14 and 16, and my wonderful husband of 20 years. We enjoy vacationing at my family’s home in Vermont and all types of travel; national and international. I love gardening and running. I played collegiate soccer 4 years at UC Davis, and I continue to play weekly in Murrieta. I also coached both girls in AYSO until they moved to club soccer.
