As a writer and contributor to various publications, I have been fortunate to receive multiple awards for my work.

 

I approach each writing project with a critical review process and ask myself three questions: Is my writing accurate? Does it move me? Have I told the story? Whether I'm uncovering historical facts or telling a heartwarming story about a dog, these questions help me ensure that my writing is accurate, engaging, and impactful.

 

My childhood was unique as I was born in Meriden, Connecticut, but attended public schools in New England. Later, I graduated from Bitburg High School in Germany, which was an exciting experience.

​

After I finished my University education, I started working as a government contract Intelligence Analyst. This fascinating job taught me a lot about critical thinking and writing.

​

I was an adjunct professor for over two decades, teaching computer science and geography at various universities. My classes focused on the Reconstruction Era, Westward Expansion, and the Oklahoma Indian Territories.

​

Apart from my professional life, I have diverse interests and experiences. One of my hobbies is training and judging dogs for AKC Scent Work.​
