: About Me

Hello,

My interest in writing has always been with me. I have been writing, primarily for my own pleasure, since I was a child. Now, I am a freelance writer living in Mississippi.

I am a teacher of computer technology. My favorite student group is adult learners. My most rewarding experiences have been in teaching senior citizens.

My B.S. is in Business with a double major in Marketing and Management, my Master's, Ed. Specialist, and Ph. D. are in Computer Technology.

I am a 10 year cancer survivor. I have been researching gynecologic cancers since I was diagnosed and used the subject as the topic of my dissertation.

As the owner of five restaurants for almost 20 years, I got a lot of experience cooking Southern foods. What had been a love of cooking turned into a vocation. Now, I love letting someone else cook for me as often as possible.
