I was born and raised in Westlake Village, California. I moved to San Diego in the fall of 1995. I grew up a huge sports fan - football and hockey seasons are my favorite times of the year! I also love to travel. Having a mother born and raised in France has given me the opportunity to travel throughout Europe with my family. I have played the piano for over 30 years. I picked up a hobby of photography with my father. He gave me his father's camera when I was just learning. I continued taking pictures and classes throughout high school and college. I also love to cook and be outside. My husband and I welcomed our baby girl in 2012. She brings us much joy and a new sense of adventure.
