As a lifetime choir singer, Ms. Masson strongly supports the arts and music education for children. She is also an avid horseback rider and enjoys riding through Central Florida’s various trails with her children, when not engaged in her legal practice. Of course, she has made sure her children can aptly sing the “War Chant” and “Fight Song” while cheering on the FSU Seminoles.
