Throughout my life and professional career women have impacted my life from the following organizations: Pasco-Hernando State College, Phi Beta Lambda, Women of Rotary, Leadership Hernando, Women of Wesley Chapel, Leadership Pasco and the Hispanic Professional Women's Association. My family of strong women: my mother, Angela and my sister, Diane. My mother-in-law, Ellen and my sister-in-laws, Jen and Kelly.  My mentors, Sherry and Yvonne. My close friends, Vivian, Carmine, Barbara, Melissa, Laura, Toni and JoAnn. I hope to set an example for all women, especially, my soon to be 5 year old niece, Anjali and 9 year old niece, Janey-- our future!!
