: About Me

I am a renaissance woman relative to my personal and professional interests. An only child, the importance of education was imparted at a young age; and I soon became an avid reader. Out closest neighbor was approximately one mile away, so the woods became my playground and my dog, Abe, my best playmate.

My current loves, in addition to work, are my mother, and my two dogs - a 13 year old border collie/shepard who has more stories to be told than 5 "Marley's;" and finally a Newfoundland named Buford.
