I was born & raised in Chicago and yes I love Chicago style pizza. Went to college in Hawaii (UH at Manoa) and graduated with a BA in Finance. Started my career as a banker in Japan (studied Japanese while in college) ! Was a banker for a number of years but the profession didn't suit me. So I changed to Human Resources (still doesn't suit me but better than Finance). Personality wise: I am usually shy at first (part of my defense ), but then when I warm up ...I am witty and bright! I usually can get a long with anyone!! I love humor but am a terrible joke teller.
