A mom to Gabe (3) and Elaina (6 months) A wife to Mike, who I married about a year after meeting (online) – when you know, you know! An avid Notre Dame fan A Barnes & Thornburg lifer. I started as a summer associate and have worked in three offices, and truly love them all. A horseback rider and competitor A firm believer that “love is love” Extremely close to my (large and loud) family Excited to attend any sporting event A devoted friend. I had 12 bridesmaids who are all still my best friends, and I would have a few more to add if I were getting married today! Happiest when I am with my kids (and on a beach, if we are getting specific)
Alida Baldazo
Alida Baldazo Chicago
Half Dutch and half Mexican, and I always thought that was a unique combo Named after my Dutch great-great-aunt; nobody pronounces my name correctly, but I’m never offended by it Occasionally a stand-in for my husband’s social media projects at work and was on a billboard once An animal lover and self-proclaimed “cat lady”. I also have the sweetest pit bull ever. A major control freak and have to remind myself to “let it go” frequently All about camping, fishing and hiking and I go on annual kayak trips at Turkey Run Married to someone four inches shorter than me – without heels on A band geek at heart; I played clarinet for seven years, piano for a couple and now handbells in my church choir An avid concert-goer – I go to about 20 concerts a year A person with MAJOR anxiety. Agreeing to be featured here made me dizzy and my throat close up.

Frances Rivera-Medero New York
Born and raised in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. One of my passions is returning to spend time with my family and enjoying their delicious pasteles, alcapurrias and quesitos. From a family that manufactured coffee processing machinery, so coffee culture is in my blood Living with my family in Brooklyn in Little Haiti, a Caribbean melting pot. I love eating all kinds of West Indian foods and learning about the culture of my neighbors. Not extremely religious, but I grew up in a churchgoing family that taught me to respect and be kind to those around me Someone who’s engaged in many hobbies over time, such as knitting, crocheting, quilting, drawing, painting and woodworking A person who sang and played drums and guitar in a trio that performed around New York City A former fitness instructor, personal trainer and certified yoga instructor, but don’t ask me to touch my toes A fan of crossword puzzles and sudoku, and will labor on them for hours at a time A lover of dogs. We currently have a little corgi that does justice to the name of Joy. Someone whose favorite activity is rolling down the hills of a park with my family and our dog

A third-generation Mexican-American A woman of faith in Jesus Christ A glass half full type of person A mother of two boys who have completely opposite personalities A grandmother of twin girls that I adore who are under 2 and have tons of energy A foodie and love trying new restaurants, with pizza, chicken wings and Mediterranean foods being a few of my favorites A Prince fan who has only toured Paisley Park once. His shoe room was my favorite part of the tour. A shoe junkie…boots, pumps, sneakers, sandals, flats, I own way too many! A strong-willed woman who drove my mother nuts when I was growing up. I have since apologized. An ambivert, who just discovered this word to describe myself
