About Me

Hey There! I'm a Registered Nurse who is is passionate about the Arts! Originally from the Bronx, NY, I now make my home in Saint John, NB. I work at the Saint John Learning Exchange as a facilitator of the B.E.S.T. Program and teach part-time at UNBSJ in the Faculty of Nursing. I love to read, listen to music, watch great films, try new foods, and bargain shop. I live with my soon to be husband, Gary Flanagan, who is the most radical New Wave musician on the East Coast of Canada! We are busy planning our Hollywood Theme wedding for August, 2008 and having so much fun! We love recording music together, synthesizers, dried mangoes and to travel near and far! We laugh and keep it real everyday!
