Who I Am

I was raised in Stillwater Oklahoma and have since lived in Utah, California, Austria (Sound of Music not kangaroos), Maryland, and Texas.

My B.A. in English, German and Secondary Education is from from Brigham Young University, Provo. I spent 18 months abroad in Vienna Austria, taught English and German at the secondary level, and co-owned a learning center.

I love people (most notably my hubby of 25 years and our five kids), reading, writing, traveling, life – sometimes good, sometimes bad, always worth experiencing – and hammock-ing in my North Texas backyard.
