my hometown / 25
I’m from Weston, Conn.
Weston, Connecticut in Fairfield County is a beautiful place to 
grow up. As the middle of five children, our home was busy 
and rarely quiet. We spent our days riding bikes, exploring the 
woods, swimming at Compo Beach in Westport and staying out 
until dinnertime. My father loved sports, so he got us involved 
in baseball and basketball, but I've always loved tennis best. 
After college, I built a successful marketing career in Manhattan, 
where I lived for years before discovering and moving to 
Maplewood. Here I found the perfect balance of community, 
beautiful homes and easy access to New York City.

I’m from Buffalo, NY
My hometown of Buffalo is known as the “City of Good 
Neighbors,” and it’s really true! I grew up in the city proper, 
and thanks to my mother, my sister and I attended everything 
it had to offer, from art museums and jazz festivals to historic 
sites and theater performances. That sparked a lifelong love 
of the arts and eventually led me to a career in New York 
City theater. Ultimately, I wanted the city feel of Buffalo and 
some grass under my feet, so my husband and I settled in our 
beloved South Orange. Buffalo will always feel like home and 
I’ll never stop rooting for my Buffalo Bills!
