Tell us a little bit about yourself:

I was born in the Bronx and I live in Easton. The pharmacy business is in my genes because my father was a pharmacist and my sister is a pharmacist. My mother also worked in the pharmacy. I went to school at Northeastern for my B.A. of Science in Pharmacology.

What is home life like for you?

I have a lot of animals. I have two dogs, two cats, two canaries, two kids, one husband and some chickens. A lot of the pets we have are rescued animals. My husband works at Lang’s Pharmacy with me. I hide him in the attic. It was a promotion from the basement at our New Canaan location. When we are at home, he loves to garden.

How long have you worked in Weston?

I’ve worked in Weston since 2008. That’s when we opened the Lang’s Pharmacy here.

What is your best memory in Weston?

Are you part of any clubs in Weston?

Some people in the town that go with me are Alden Sherman, Michael O’Brien — he was a former teacher in Weston — and Bob Mitchell. Everybody knows them. We all have old cars and we have our own little gatherings.

What do you do for fun around Weston?
