I'm a born leader, creator, and designer. I remain five-steps-ahead to avoid major catastrophes, but I am also well aware that the best laid plans can go awry; oh the thrill of live theatre! I steadfastly refuse to be daunted by hindrances and have the innate ability to throw a smile on and fake it until I make it better! I have always thrived on personal success and I am insanely competitive with myself to do the very best. I am meticulous, an avid to-do-list-checker-offer, and an artistic a-typer (I know, that is an oxymoron)! I am full of positive energy, endurance (sometimes referred to as a firecracker), patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, competitiveness and perhaps, maybe a tiny, little bit of stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear headed, even when things are going badly. I love dogs, tennis and dancing. I Read more am the eldest child in a three sibling line up. And when I say eldest, I mean by a long shot. At 32, my youngest sibling is 16. Therefore, as you can imagine, I assumed the role of surrogate mother in high school. In college I was the nanny for a very prominent family and took care of their four children (under the age of 8). I continued working with children throughout college and still do. Below is an excerpt from a (adorably) hand-written letter I received from my little munchkin I used to babysit. She was 8 at the time. She is now 15.. which is insane for me to think about and I now tutor her and big sister her: “You also give me so much confidence and you believe that I can do stuff. Thanks for everything you have done for me. It means a lot. Whenever I need help I can call you and you will make me better.” I have a strong business background (legal compliance at a Securities Lending Firm EsecLending and Business Manager of Aneli Xavier Law Firm), paired with an even stronger wedding and event design and planning background. Throw in a great deal of childcare and coaching and soccer-mom-stop-arm while driving (its instinct!!) mismatched with a Bachelors Degree in English —some say I'm all over the board. But I laugh and say "I'm well rounded."
