I am a military brat that lived on Hamilton Air Force Base in the Capehart housing. We moved here from Naples Italy in 1984 and dad was stationed at Skaggs Island. I attended both Novato and San Marin High schools and graduated in 1986. I have been lucky enough to raise both my children in Novato and feel blessed to live in this beautiful town. I enjoy hiking the many trails around Novato, my meditation group, scrapbooking at Body and Energy, volunteering for the City of Novato through the Margaret Todd Senior Center, attending College of Marin, and keeping up on the local community news through Patch.
