About me

My goal as a writer is diversification. I primarily write about interior design, educational and social issues, and health issues.

I have an associates degree in general studies from Glendale Community College, earned while I was a stay-at-home parent with my two beautiful children. I majored in graphic design and technical writing.

It is my goal to utilize my skills to complete my collection of short stories (nearly there!)and finish my novel.

My husband and I have been married for more than 25 years. His love and support have enabled me to pursue a career in writing as well as design.
