More about me

My bith place is Pasadena, California.  I was raised in the San Francisco Bay area and the Santa Clara Valley.  I graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Social Work and have pursued work with very young children who are disadvantaged in one way or another.  I have one child of my own, a daughter that is grown now.  No grandchildren yet!  I am single..divorced and live in a very small, quaint, picturesque town in Oregon. 

The  Psychology Group  is a favorite of mine, since I work with very young children, the more that I know about how the human develops the more affective I can be. Child Development is fascinating to me.  I percieve it to be the most important factor in determining who we become.  More information about children and the significance of their development is being discovered all the time.  This is my passion.
