What is something few know about you?
I spent most of my childhood twirling the baton, first in a baton and drum corp. and then as a majorette for Start High School.

What brought you to Metroparks?
I think it was meant to be, I was at a crossroads in my life and received a call from a temp service about the opportunity and fortunately, it worked into a permanent position!

Your favorite park visited?
Being a west Toledo girl, I would say Wildwood is my favorite park, I have spent many hours, over the years, picnicking, walking the trails and doing some biking. We even had some of our wedding pictures taken here.
