Highlights of the Last 20 Years:
Shortly after high school I started working at the NYS Department of Taxation Finance, where I have spent the last 24 years. While at the Department I earned my associates, and then my bachelors degrees' in Business, Management and Economics through SUNY's Empire State College.
I married in 1994 and had my son in 1995 and my daughter in 2000. I could not be blessed with more wonderful children.
In 2001 I went through a divorce. I was very fortunate to have the support of my friends and family making what could have been a very difficult time much more manageable for the kids and I.
In 2006 I married a wonderful/amazing man and was proud to have our four children in our wedding for one of the most memorable evenings ever.
I feel life has been good to me and feel very blessed for my beautiful children, good job, happy home, awesome friends, good health, beautiful nieces and nephews, and of course vacations!
Since our last reunion I opened an indoor cycling studio in Colonie, Total Ryder in Motion. I am a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Spinning and Yoga Instructor. Although I work at the Tax Department, Health and Fitness and helping others has become my passion.
