Native of Staten Island and born in August, this Lioness has a roar of her own.

I am fully retired as former HR Coordinator/Liaison from Bell Atlantic Media Relations prior to the Verizon merger.
Dancing, writing and create cooking are my 3 Passions and links to sanity. As a trained Fred Astaire dancer, I had the pleasure of showcasing at the original Copacabana and 2-times trophy winner in the Latin Division.

Retirement is merely an intermission. It translates into the “seasoned professional” beginning a new venture or, the “other” career”. Before stepping over the final threshold, the retiree will take a brief “time out” to relax, maybe do some traveling, take a few courses, then return to the work race, but under different circumstances. This time you will have the upper hand, be ready to make a difference while enjoying financial independence on your schedule and your terms. It is called “heaven in a hat”. The possibilities are ...
