Born to an Indian father and a Hispanic mother (intent on becoming a nun), I met and married my Dutch-bred immigrant husband in my last year at college. Our children check off the majority of the boxes under the category, Ethnic Origin. Add to this the fact I grew up on a sixty-by-forty Caribbean island where the population mixture represents the world's religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity (and some mixtures no one's dreamed of) and you have a multi-cultural woman who believes the word, 'Mutt' represents the best of human nature. For the factually inclined, I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and Sociology, and a Master's in Management Science with three areas of concentration, Computers, Finance, and Statistics. I’ve lived and worked in Canada (Ontario, Vancouver), the United States (San Francisco, various small cities in southern California, Miami, and Parkland) and the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Tortola) and South America (Guyana). My passions in life center around my proudest achievements, a happy marriage (measure of happiness varies with level of irritation), and three grown sons of the finest caliber who I’m proud to call friends, although they're never allowed to forget the mom factor. Other areas of interest include, travelling, meeting new people, reading, working with all animals, Equestrian dressage, cooking, eating said food, and sipping good wine, while hanging out, ('liming' in Trini-speak) with friends. I’m proud to announce the only carbonated beverage I drink is champagne. Who needs Coke? And you never want to be in the same room if I pick up a dart and aim for the target. Run for your life.
