It has been a lifelong aspiration of mine to live in Southern California. I finally realized my dream in 2014 when I moved from Ohio to become a permanent resident of Huntington Beach.

I truly love this city! There is so much to see and do here. Some of my favorites are attending concerts with my husband, watching our dog Luna run unleashed on the dog beach and taking endless photos of sunsets. I also ride my bike on the strand several times a week. More than just exercise, the view of the ocean energizes my soul as I cruise along the beach.

Furthermore, I have been known to have the stamina to shop until I drop! You can find me at various thrift stores, boutiques, consignment stores or garage sales because interior design is a passion of mine. I am continuously looking for treasures for our SoCal home. Plus, I am fortunate that our young adult children live nearby, so family get-togethers in our spa are very special to me.

Throughout my career, I worked as a journalist, columnist, editor and photographer. I am excited to use my skills to introduce you to new places and experiences during your visit to Huntington Beach. Welcome!
