For the past 30 years, she has been happily married to her husband John, and together they have raised two incredible daughters. Their eldest, a Princeton University graduate, is now embarking on a journey to Harvard Law School, while their younger daughter is currently a freshman at Princeton, where she's not only hitting the books but also making her mark on the basketball court. Professionally, she is a proud owner of Outpatient Imaging Centers, specializing in MRIs, CT scans, and PET scans for cancer patients. Beyond the boardroom, she devotes her time as a CASA court-appointed special advocate, fighting for the rights of children in the foster care system. In her spare moments, she's coached basketball, cross country, and track, drawn from her passion for sports. Life threw her a curveball when she battled and survived cancer, inspiring her to become an award-winning fitness competitor and a fitness cover model. At one point, she even owned a modeling agency, Models by Trade. Through these diverse experiences, she's learned to embrace life's challenges and celebrate its victories.
Let’s start by sharing a little about yourself. I am originally from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, and I live in Boston, Massachusetts. I am 54 years old and have been married to my husband John for 31 years in December. We met in Chicago and got married after seven weeks. He graduated from Vanderbilt University and has been a medical entrepreneur for the past 26 years. I think we balance each other out and actually work well together. We have a lot of common goals and interest.
What are you passionate about? I am passionate about my family, friends, fitness, co-workers, our medical business and volunteering. I am working and advocating with children in the foster care system in the courts.
