A native of Oakdale, PA, Retz (also known as Lauretta Ann Reeves by the IRS) accepted a job in Florida, a state she had never seen, over the phone. She moved to Miami the following weekend with not much more than a bikini and a bottle of suntan lotion. Hurricane David teased the Florida coastline the next Saturday.
Undeterred, Retz pursued her investment career during the day and studied Microbiology and Business at night. After almost a decade of no sleep, Retz finally graduated from Florida International University, after which she obtained her MBA from Nova Southeastern University, married Randy Reeves and started adopting stray animals - Or the animals adopted them.
When she's not traipsing around the world looking for investments for Hansberger Global Investors, Retz enjoys working and living in South Florida and the Florida Keys with Randy, some of their critters introduced in Adopted Paws and a few more who strayed into their lives.
