Just copying and pasting my Facebook note:

1. I’m the only girl and the youngest after 4 boys. And yes, that made me an over-protected brat and a daddy’s princess. However, I’m the only one in my family who decided to conquer the world and moved to another country. People tell me that’s amazing, yet I have a hard time believing it.

2. I have a degree in Biology that I’ve never really used. I’ve done everything you can imagine: I’ve been a teacher, I’ve worked importing flowers, I’ve done real estate business, I’ve worked at a huge aluminum plant, I’ve done customer service (which I don’t really like).
