More about me

I enjoyed working in the educational field, and translating for the Mayo Clinic, and the Federal Government --- and now my most ambitious project is working on my book ---- although the focus changes daily, along with my life.

I have two daughters, and 3 grandchildren. My family is my most precious treasure... I could write a book on the accomplishments of my children and grandchildren – but I’m their mother, and grandmother. So, I keep to my journal.

I take every day as an adventure – it works out well that way.
