Writer Biography

I am a 41 year old corporate manager. I have recently graduated with an MBA from Walden University, having achieved my personal goal of maintaining a 4.0 cumulative average. I am proud of that achievement and may go on to a PHD program within the next year or two. I consider myself a very good manager who is fair and objective and able to multi-task very well. I have been given opportunities to travel on business to London, Spain, Puerto Rico and several cities in the U.S., and for that I am extremely grateful.

I am the mother of one son, 1 step-son and 3 step-daughters. My family went from just my son and I to a family of 7 practically overnight and it is one of the biggest joys of my life. I grew up in a family with 5 children and always thought that my parents must have been crazy to have so many. I was wrong.

I live just southeast of Tampa, FL and absolutely love the sunshine. My favorite recreational activity is getting up before the sun to fish in the gulf. I have to say that I am not the best fisherman in the world (if the number of fish actual caught is any indication) but I am persistant. I can cast with the best of them! I also love the beach and hiking and lounging in the pool. My favorite indoor activities include reading, writing (of course), playing guitar and singing. An occasional poker game with a few good friends is also on the list.

I moved to Florida from upstate New York in 1990 without a plan or much money. At one point I was almost homeless and had lost all but a few of my personal possessions. ( I really should have had a plan!) I fought my way back, determined to be a success despite the odds. I succeeded. I believe that meditation and visualization are the keys to reaching my goals and when I look back at my life and how far I've come, I know it was my visions, determination and faith that got me here.
