Biography
Working with words has been a major part of my career as I worked as a proofreader and classified advertising salesperson for several newspapers across the nation, and a temporary line editor for the Petoskey (Michigan) News Review. I hold a certificate of completion from the Parish School of Classified Advertising, where I learned copywriting for successful advertisements. I was also the editor and publisher of the school district newsletter for the Hiawatha, Kansas Unified School District 415, where I was secretary to the Superintendent of Schools for sixteen years. I spent one year at Ventura (CA) Junior College, where I majored in English. During my junior high and high school years I had poems published in the local (Camarillo Daily News) newspaper, was the historian for the Horizon Club (senior Campfire Girls) Camarillo, California chapter, and was responsible for having the monthly meeting articles published in the local newspaper. I was senior class editor of my high school year book in my senior year.
I am recently retired from my position as an administrative assistant for a geotechnical engineering and construction testing firm in Reno, Nevada. I have three grown daughters and two grandchildren. I live in Sparks, Nevada with my husband Walter and our Maine coon cat Lucy Marie.
Beginning June 13, 2012, I will be conducting Story Time every Wednesday at Mountain Meadows Townhomes' Community Room in Sparks, NV, from 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm. All children are welcome. There will be stories for preschool-kindergarten ages, as well as older children through 12 years old.
