Personal Profile

Proud mother of 2 beautiful children, I enjoy meeting new people, being an active volunteer and business member in my community, socializing, and spending quality time at my cottage in the Kawarthas. Downhill skiing, swimming, power walking, boating, reading and fine dining are some of my favorite past times, as well as watching a great chick flick or action movie! Quality time with family and friends are an important part of my life. I am open to new experiences and like to live my life with "no regrets"!
