Graduated with a BA from Northern Illinois University
Ten years with now defunct retailer, Best Products, Co. Inc. - Buyer
Twenty years as a pre-school teacher. A passion.
Retired 2012.

I am married to a wonderful husband of some 30+ years and counting. We raised two terrific kids. Our daughter is working on her masters in nuclear engineering. Our son is working on his masters in fine arts, theater scenic design.

I loved the years of travel and excitement that a buying position allowed me but moving my life into the world of preschoolers as my own children came along became a life long passion. I started teaching two days a week while my own children attended school and as they went on to Elementary school I stayed at their preschool working as a lead teacher of three year olds for the next twenty years. Now that I have retired I plan to return to my art and sewing creative interests.
