I love sports! I grew up watching & participating in different sports but grew up loving baseball, football & basketball. I even bowled. I almost bowled a perfect game. The announcers have helped me create the passions that I have. I have knowledge about other teams but, I am an admitted homer & support the Rangers, Cowboys & Mavericks. My opinions on those teams are usually realistic but, not blind. I will call it as I see it - positive or negative. Other than sports, I have opinions in other areas of interests like politics, real estate & investments and travel. I created my own home-based travel business over a year ago & hope it grows.

Trained as a journalist in my undergraduate studies, and in marketing and investing as a graduate student, my early career eventually settled into financial services sales (investments & insurance), but later crossed over into research, analytics and IT management and support. Eventually, my training came full circle as a business analyst and project manager, sitting between management,users/customers (internal or external), and technologists, intermediating, innovating, facilitating and problem-solving to keep projects on track to successful completions. Most recently, I emerged as the leading SME on running, troubleshooting and creating advanced client identification specs for an internal cross-selling system at Washington Mutual, a system that throughout its implementation at WaMu, consistently delivered results that exceeded forecasts and expectations. My experience includes stints at Northern Trust, Allstate Investments, ABN AMRO, Zacks Investment Research, a UPS subsidiary, and Washington Mutual / Chase, among others.

I am a mother of 2 and wife of 21 years. I was raised on a modest income in a family of 7 children. My parents did not finish school but, my father was ambitious and was always looking for long-term financial investments and did well with real estate. We saved money by doing all of the home remodeling and repars ourselves. I l learned valuable skills that I could bring to my marriage and motivate my husband as a strong support as DIYers. I place a lot of value in planning ahead so when the tough times arrive, it's not so tough after all.
