This is me.

I was born on Groundhog Day in Trenton. I spent my formative years in Levitt and Sons’ planned community of Willingboro.

My parents shipped me off to Catholic school for Junior and High School. I am still recovering from the experience.

Like a good Jersey Girl I attended Rutgers where I met lots of great people – including my awesome husband.

Careers took us to Massachusetts and Connecticut. I have now lived outside of New Jersey longer than I’ve lived in it.

But it still lives in me.

“‘Cause down the shore everything’s all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you’re in love with a Jersey girl”

Bruce Springsteen
