My day is like…
an adventure! You just never know…definitely never boring!
I was born…
in Brooklyn, NY.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
sunshine.
I’m listening to…
Jan Monheit.
My family…
means everything to me. The old cliché if you have your health, you have everything is really true. I don’t take it for granted.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Martin Scorsese. I love his creativity as a director and he seems like a very down-to-earth guy. I also love that he always puts his mom in his movies!
One thing I cannot live without…
my faith. It keeps me grounded and humble.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a singer. I still dabble in it and sing whenever I can. It brings joy to my heart.
I’m inspired by…
excellence. People that excel and never give up. Whatever you do…it could be running a big corporation or working at Circle K, be your best and always smile.
The one person who motivates me is…
my son, Joseph and my husband, Jo. I am so grateful for them both.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
peace. I wish men and women would love each other, despite their differences. Think of what a beautiful, tranquil place a world like that would be.
The perfect day would be…
simply having my family around me.
My first job was…
at McDonalds.
My favorite escape…
is exercise.
My life…
is fabulous even with all the highs and lows.
I’m currently working on…
expanding Advanced Minerals Makeup to include new products.
Always…
have gratitude and be humble.
Never…
think you are better than anyone else.
Favorite Quote…
“Success is when preparation meets opportunity”
Biggest Dream…
travel to third world countries with my son and help the children there.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
people that think they are better than others, rude drivers, people that don’t say thank you!
