Fortunately, retail has always been a part of my life, but I did work full time teaching.  At one point I decided to make a change, I quit my teaching position and returned to Retail.  I have worked in many aspects of the industry including buying, merchandising stores, sales and organizing special events at gift shops, boutiques, and garden centers. I love meeting new people and working with customers that enjoy what they are doing. 

I have covered Northern and Central Illinois for over 20 years and enjoyed every minute of it. Working with different brands has given me the opportunity to meet many people and have earn their trust and support to help them increase their revenue.  

I have 2 children Jason and Ryan who are grown and a granddaughter Harper who is 7. Harper and I love doing many art projects.  

My hobbies are reading, drawing, dancing, and traveling.  My fiancé Dennis and I love to sit on the beach and read.  We are always planning our next vacation.
