I was born in La Mirada, California and grew up in Whittier. I have one older brother called Hank. Before I met John I was an Interior Designer living in Southern California. I owned a beautiful condominium in Orange, California since the late 1990's. My "long term single life" gave me time to obtain a four year college degree; travel (Europe, eastern Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, across the U.S.); and have a full-time career. My hobbies are travelling and cooking.
