ABOUT ME

I moved to Chicago 2005 and I have lived in 3 different neighborhoods Lakeview, South Loop, and Ukrainian Village) and I can truly say that I loved them all in their each unique environments. Now I live outside the city, but still close and I am currently studying in the city.

I am a single parent, independent, and easygoing. I am a curious person and I am not afraid to ask questions. I want to enjoy each moment and make each experience the best it can be.

I would love to share this wonderful city with you!

PHILOSOPHY

I learn so much about myself through the relationships I build with others. I want to be able to give more of myself to those around me as long as I am able. But I also need people, I crave conversation. I always want to challenge and to be challenged by others.
I want to live a more creative life and to support the creativity of others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say the most recent thing is traveling to India. I traveled here to work with a community organization that helps women. It is such a colorful culture..so alive and different than anywhere I have been.

I also had my first tandem jump 2007 How amazing! It was so beautiful to be up in the air gliding..taking in the beautiful landscape of the mountains!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a financial advisor I have studied and learned a lot about credit reports. Today, understanding as much about your credit and your finances, can truly help you live a less stressful and peaceful life.

We must all learn to do this more for ourselves and for those around us!
