• What keeps you in the Plumas Lake area? The nice, new schools and parks and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere keeps us in the Plumas Lake area.

• What aspects about the community attracted you here initially? Four years ago, when the housing prices in Sacramento were skyrocketing, I found Plumas Lake, so that was our initial draw, then it was the quiet community and being able to see the stars at night. We also found a home that we love everything about.

• Do you belong to any clubs or organizations in the community? I just started scrapbooking with a group here; it is nice to not have to drive to Sacramento to do what I love.

• If you were in charge, what would you change about the Plumas Lake community? Just like most, adding more retail to the area, at least a gas station and grocery store.

• What are your favorite places to go in Yuba-Sutter/Mid-Valley/Sacramento area? Pretty much anywhere that has good food

• If you were granted one wish, what would you wish for? I would wish for my dad back. He passed away five years ago when my daughter was a baby and I wish she had more time getting to know him.

• Favorite musical group: I love most music, with country being my favorite, but I also enjoy jazz, R&B and old-school pop, hip hop, old-school rap. I like a little of everything.

• Favorite sports team: Sacramento Kings

• Whom do you most admire and why? I have always admired my mom and dad the most. How they raised four kids with good family values and how all four turned out pretty good still amazes me.

• Tell us about a life-changing experience: My biggest life-changing experiences were when both of my children were born. I am in awe with how you can unconditionally love a little person in such a short amount of time.

• What was your first job? Working at Chuck E. Cheese. No, I was not the rat. It was a great job, one of my most favorite. It was also great birth control, I didn't have children until well into my 20s; a job highly recommended for all teenagers.
