I was born in the US but raised mostly overseas in Central America. I went to school in the Canal Zone until 14, then went half and half in the US & Panama for 2 years. When I was 16 I stayed in Tampa for a year and then finished by correspondence through U of Nebraska. I started university in New College for 2 1/2 years...then to UF to graduate with a BA in English. I worked retail at B&N as the manager of receiving for 3 years. I became an at home mom and web designer when my daughter was born but when she entered school I worked as a Public Library manager for 3 years. Now I'm back to my favorite occupations ...teaching, photo restoration, and graphic design. This time I'm spinning on the equator in Costa Rica! Basically I like books, learning, people, hanging out with all the same and sharing knowledge. I love my daughter. I love nature. I respect honesty. I enjoy the MMORPG community, tweaking graphics in Photoshop and constantly adding to my journey in learning.
