Wanda has never been short on confidence, which helps when you’re occasionally too trusting of other people. He friends describe her as charming, thoughtful, gracious and generous. She is very clear about communicating her wishes, which may explain how, as a child, she talked two total strangers out of their banana up on Mount St. Helena.

When she was young, Wanda was one of the first Fast Talkers of America. Her mother, on occasion, needed a translator to figure out what Wanda was talking about.

Her speed in speaking must have affected her driving as well, at least at the beginning. Wanda knew that she was born with purely natural driving ability, and could not understand why that was not universally acknowledged. In her first attempt, navigating a Datsun pick-up truck around in the driveway, she red-lined the tach, burned rubber, and punched a hole in the fence. After that, the family decided on a slightly heftier vehicle, and a considerably larger field of operations. Literally. The field was a pasture, and the vehicle was a tractor.

A childhood trait that Wanda has maintained into adulthood is a willingness to talk to anyone about anything. She has, we hope, put aside her favorite childhood outfit—boots and a pink teddy—for more classic attire.

Wanda is very serious about her career as a tech company Project Manager. She loves her two cats. She enjoys movies, working out, fast cars, and, most of all Wanda is passionate about her new found love for the little girls in her life.
