: About Me

I am the proud mom of two wonderful girls, freelance researcher/writer, and diehard San Diego Chargers fan. I possess a completely useless B.S. in Criminal Justice/Forensic Science and am currently getting my MCJ in Homeland Security (job security, eh?) Please check out my Writing/Researching/Proofreading website if you need that type of service.

I currently write educational research projects, have published several short stories and various poetry, contribute to several sports and legal websites, and have maintained several NFL-related blogs. I am also working on finishing my great American novel which I hope to publish by the time I'm 75.

besides my kids: Stephen King's macabre brain, Vin Diesel's arms, the cast of Drew Carey's Improv-a-Ganza, and Tim McGraw's fine backside!
