Tell me about your dress. I fell in love with this dress because of the Caribbean colors. To me it was stunning. It was the first dress I looked at and I fell in love with it.
Why’d you come to the gala tonight? I met my husband at this event 11 1/2 years ago. I asked him to dance under the rotunda. The rest is history.
How often do you travel for your job? I travel probably one week per month, and it’s all to inspect luxury hotels.
Where are your favorite places to go? My favorite islands are Turks and Caicos because my family lives there. I always say I’m an island girl at heart.
Do you think all your traveling affects what you wear? My favorite items come from all my travels. Truly my wardrobe is influenced by beach, sun, and colors.
