I graduated from Williamsburg High School, Ball State University first with a BS and then with an MA. I taught high school, was on the Adjunct Faculty in the English department at IU East, worked for a bank for 15 years and when the bank downsized followed in my daughter’s footsteps and became a nurse. Currently, I work as a telephone triage nurse in a clinic. Prior to this position, I worked in a detox unit on the night shift.
I am a four time cancer survivor, a mother, grandmother, and a great grandmother. I live with my significant other and two special companions Micay and Malea and one outdoor fairly well socialized feline named Emma. Oh, by the way, Micay and Malea are cats.
I love reading, music of all sorts from classical to rock, traveling, spur of the moment visits, good conversation, laughter, friends, and of course life. Just being above the grass.
My significant other and I are sports fans and enjoy everything from baseball (he’s a Yankee’s fan) to football to golf.
This is my first time having a book published, but have had a few poems published by the International Society of Poets through Poetry.com.ver menos
