She and her husband devote most of their non- working hours to their children’s activities which include, Mentor Travel Baseball, Mentor Softball , Mentor Soccer Club, Boy Scouts of America; Girl Scouts of America, St. Mary of The Assumption Basketball, All-Around Gymnastics and Savelli’s Dance Studio.
