Fun fact, I’m a weather junkie! I love learning about the weather and watching storms. One of my favorite inspiring quotes comes from Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
DeeDee George

I love watching stand-up comedy in my car during long drives and I literally laugh out loud! I’m also addicted to HGTV – especially Fixer Upper. I believe every piece of property can be turned around to a dreamboat!

Through the Newwave Foundation, I’m able to give back. It’s important to look at your surroundings and see who could use your help, because not everyone is comfortable asking for it
Samara Pitti-Castillo

I was born and raised in Panama! I’ve traveled to 6 different countries and over 15 states! My favorite quote is “If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots instead of feet.” -Rachel Wolchin
