I'm a small town girl who left home and went to live in the big city. Greater Miami became home for our family. As retirement loomed in the near distance, my husband and I both exchanged careers in business for the teaching vocation.

Because I had an undergraduate degree in liberal arts with advanced degrees in business and in education, I was able to launch a new career as a professor. My first position was literally at the halls of ivy, a small university with ivy covered buildings, built in stone and designed in the Gothic tradition. To those students, past and present, I wish them "carpe diem". I had followed the school motto and seized the day!

The next twelve years were spent teaching online for two well known institutions. To those students, I wish to remind them to follow their dreams. Learning has no age limits. Creativity has no bounds.
