Biography
We were asked to post a short biography about ourselves, so here goes. I was born in Cassville, Wisconsin, which is a village on the Mississippi River. My parents had five children and I was the lucky youngest. Our mom stayed home and my dad was the local doctor. I loved growing up in a rural community where even as a six year old you could walk downtown and charge whatever to your dad!
When I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I discovered that I love science and majored in Bacteriology. After graduation I did research for a few years on mapping a gene in E.coli. It was interesting, but I was okay with moving South as I had worked with a lot of radioactive agents.
I have been married to my husband, Mark, for 32 years and we have two children, Ben and Lizzy. Ben is 27 and works in Chicago, Ill. and Lizzy is 23 and will be attending graduate school in Seattle, Washington.
After our children, were born I went back to school and earned a degree in education. I taught dyslexic children for years at The Schenck School. After that I taught Special Education for a number of years at Cheatham Hill and Rocky Mount. Currently I am very happy being a second grade teacher. It's may favorite age to teach. It's my joy to see the light bulb shine when a child a child begins to comprehend.
What are my habbies? I love to read, paint, and walk my three adorable dogs: Baby, Toby and Henry.
That's enough about me!
