Graduated from Gannon University in 1992 with a BA in Anthropology. Attended Ball State University to pursue an MA in Anthropology, completed all but thesis. Married my college sweetheart in 1998 and had my beautiful daughter Kate in 1999. Divorced the a-hole in 2001. Married my husband Steve on February 14, 2005. Gained three step children. I have worked as a field tech/office manager for a small archaeology company in West Virginia and as an Executive Secretary for a large food service company. Met my husband Steve while I was a jack-of-all-trades for a small powdered metal company here in Brockway (he has been in the industry for 20+years) and finally some how wound up working as a Program Assistant (Behavior Specialist) for a non-profit in Clearfield-Jefferson County. We relocated to Alabama right before the new year 2015. And now have found ourselves in Jackson, TN, where my husband was offered a job with Stanley Black and Decker. I am currently exploring Eastern philosophy and am an avid tattoo freak (currently at 10 and counting).

Went to Kuujjuarapik, Canada (on the Hudson Bay) while at Gannon for an Cultural Anthroplogy field school with the Cree Indians. Great experience and beautiful country.
