I’m from New Jersey, I joined the military and spent 4 years working for the NSA, held a top secret clearance and spent three years working in Germany during the Persian Gulf War and received the Army medal of Achievement for job performance. After my time in the service I came back to the states and drove cross country with my brother, once we got to the pacific coast we loved California so much we decided to stay and that’s where I went to college. After I was done with my undergraduate degree I missed my family very much!  My mother had retired and moved to Florida, I came down here to visit her and really loved the weather, being near an ocean has always been a must for me! So I moved here seven years ago and still feel like I’m “on vacation.” I worked for Crosswinds Youth Services in Cocoa for three years as a teacher for the Rainwater Day treatment Program for girls.  Four years ago I came to CMS and I’m so happy I did!
