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 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.

Back
Married to my beautiful wife, Paulette, for 27 years A person with four kids, eight grandkids and five great-grandkids The owner of a bird named Grace and a beta fish named Sunny A believer that prayer works for all things A person who loves going fishing Born in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. A person who loves putting together holiday centerpieces Someone who loves hanging out at the beach with family A die-hard Washington football fan A former chef in the Army for eight years where I traveled to different countries
Blessed and proud to be the daughter of amazing Puerto Rican parents who I fiercely protect and care for. My mother survived breast cancer and still works at 80 and my father just retired at 83. Born in New York, but very fortunate to be molded and raised in the traditions and values of Puerto Rico, “La Isla del Encanto” An avid fan of wrestling and football (yes, I am a wrestling fan and yes, I know it’s scripted) Mom to my rescue, PJ, and a huge advocate of pet adoptions, as I have been mom to two rescued four-legged furballs. The pain of losing them is unbearable, but the unconditional love and affection is like nothing else. Someone who loves listening and dancing to Spanish music, especially Salsa and Merengue A person who was named after the landlady of the house I was born in. My mother thought I was going to be a boy, so she agreed to name me after her if I was girl. SURPRISE! Happiest when with my family – I have the best extended family in the world with cousins, aunts, and uncles who are like no others Someone who is not impressed by money, status or looks, but how well you treat others A fluent writer, speaker and reader of Spanish; next I will conquer French! Forever a New York Yankees fan

A woman who is always ready to empower, uplift, and support other women; I believe when women stick together amazing things happen A recovering people pleaser who has learned that it’s OK to make myself the priority – and no one has to like it A mother to the most incredible daughter in the whole world A first-generation, multi-time college graduate and homeowner Ashamed and embarrassed of my unwavering love for Divorce Court – it's my guilty pleasure! A mental health advocate and professional who believes healing one can heal many; communal healing starts with self A person that never gets tired of having tacos for dinner A person who loves to cook, create, dance, and sing! I am better at some of those things than others. A coffee lover. Doesn’t matter the time of day, coffee always sounds good to me! The person least likely to enjoy an outdoor gathering
Michelle Nicholson Columbus
Fully vaccinated – to protect myself, my family, and my community Hopeful that our country and democracy will be able to overcome the challenges of COVID-19 and partisanship divides A boy mom! I might have to shop on the boring side of the clothing store, but nothing beats little boy snuggles A native Ohioan – who spent 11 years in New York, where I learned about good bagels and public transportation, and three years in Baltimore, where I learned about blue crabs and the Orioles A lapsed marathon runner (shockingly after three little boys, I no longer have the time or energy for four-hour runs on Saturdays) From a family of Buckeyes who love to remind me that I am not. I’m actually a Columbia Lion, but still a diehard Buckeye fan! A lover of Spain, in particular Sevilla. I could live on jamón Ibérico and manchego cheese. A reader. The last book I read was Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, but my tastes are pretty diverse — anything from chick lit to history. An Olympics superfan. Ask me how bummed I was when last summer’s Olympics were postponed and I couldn’t spend half my maternity leave watching Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky and Megan Rapinoe. Submitting a probably unacceptably dated picture – because it’s hard to find a picture you really like!

Married to Yuval, and we have two incredible daughters An avid reader and would-be author A lover of most ’80s music A traveler who hates to actually travel, but loves the destinations A proud New Yorker Someone who learned to ski in Quebec, but has yet to make it out West A passionate ally who just wants to make this place a little bit better An amateur psychologist (and an almost one, before deciding on law) Someone who seems super outgoing and busy but is happiest at home with my family Someone who knows few new shows, but can watch Law and Order: SVU or Modern Family reruns endlessly
