I am a person who was encouraged to be independent by my parents. I am an only child who matured quickly, because my parents took me everywhere. Today I love to spend lots of time with family, friends, my husband and pets.. Travel is something that provides me with a lot of enjoyment and gives me another opportunity to practice independence. I had lots of experience learning to cope while spending the summer of 2005 traveling in France and other European countries. That summer had a very positive impact on my life and helped me grow by developing the ability to thrive in a country where I could not speak the language.  I have since traveled out of the country to Costa Rica and Spain.. I love to cook and it is important to me to have a family meal every night, if possible.  I usually don't cook from recipes but rather enjoy trying to figure out how things are made on my own.. As an attorney who is serving seniors and their families, one of the most important relationships in my life was with my grandfather, Norm, who I called Papa. He loved family holidays and lavished energy and ingenuity in making those holidays into festivals. I hope to follow in his footsteps when I have my own children and grandchildren.. Today, I am happy to serve as an elder law attorney and give everyone a warm welcome and a cheery smile, the way Papa would have.
