Lidia Szczepanowski-Goldsmith

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
As a “modern-day renaissance woman”, I embrace knowledge and believe that natural capabilities should be developed to their fullest. I welcome adventure and new experiences, always try to be a positive role model, and I never settle for the ordinary. The International Pageant System celebrates and promotes these qualities.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
I am a reformed tomboy. I hold a black belt in Karate, ride a dirt bike, and as a child spent many days catching eels on the North Shore of Long Island. But…I can also do just about anything in stilettos, including cartwheels and cheerleader jumps.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
For my physical health, I train in martial arts and exercise to my old Jane Fonda and Tae Bo videos. For my mental health, I make sure to spend genuine quality time, even a few minutes, every day, with each of my three children and my husband.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
Family values are the personal beliefs and principles that guide our thoughts and actions. They are rooted in our cultures, religions, morals, and traditions. While these values change from family to family, they should always include honesty, unconditional love and acceptance, and an emphasis on maintaining the family unit.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
My reliance on my laptop. As a mother, wife, lawyer, and philanthropist, I use my computer to organize my life; to keep track of everything from my children’s homework assignments to my court appearances. Sometimes I actually set an alarm clock to remind myself to “step away from the computer!”
