How long have you worked in Maple Heights? Almost a year.
How would you describe Maple Heights to someone who has never been there? It has a nice small-town atmosphere with big-city life nearby.
What is your favorite activity in the area? Just enjoying our house and big yard. It is like living woods.
Hobbies/Interests: Traveling, gardening and reading.
What is your favorite place to vacation? I would have to say Italy because I have family there.
If there was a movie about your life, what would it be called and who would play you? It would be called "Life Changes." Liza Minelli would play me because when I was younger, I was told I looked like her.
What is your biggest accomplishment? I think going to school after I was married, having children and starting a career with the courts.
Whom do you admire most (excluding relatives)? I admire Hillary Clinton. She's had it kind of rough. She is a strong woman and she still manages to keep her head up.
Something most people don't know about me is ... that I am nicer than I look. People have told me I have a very mad looking face.
