Background
I moved to Evanston in 2010 with my husband Edwin and our oldest son Emir, who was still a baby at the time. Evanston clearly embodied the values we wanted to build our family around and it still does today. Since then, we started a local business, had two more wonderful children, and have actively participated in community causes and organizations.
