Tell us all about you (i.e. What do you do for a living, what places have you lived since East Jr, what have you accomplished in life, etc, etc)
Ahh..Where do I begin?? Since Junior High School... Went to Parkway Central, graduated and then to Font Bonne College for a couple of years. I studied Vocal Proformance and enjoyed singing very much! I decided to go part-time to school and sing professionally. I worked retail to support myself and live on my own.
I decided to take a tech position at an area BJC hospital and see if nursing would be a good fit. I did enjoy helping others in providing compassionate patient care. That is where I met my husband, Chris. Married in October of 1993.
Did some traveling. Started our family, while we put Chris through nursing school. I was a stay at home mom, duing this period I had a childcare business. Think about it, make a little $$ and have little playmates who came over everyday to play with my children. It worked out great, and I made some life long friends from. My childcare business went on for about 8yrs.
I also trained with therapists to utilize Music Therapy as a vehicle to help patients with Dementia and other debilitating, and degenerative diseases. What a challeng but very rewarding. When we got our 3 children to an age where they are more independent, and focused and "responsable", Lol,ha,ha.. I decided to go back to school to become an RN. I have been eager to return to work life outside the home for quite sometime and finally decided to take the plung.. So far School is exciting, classes are challenging. I am much more focused as an adult now. Still singing though for the church that my family and I attend, as I have been doing for so many years.
