a little more about myself. . .
- I was born and raised in a small farming community in central Illinois until I left home to attend a College Preparatory High School.
- After graduation, I returned home and attended Junior College and then I was off to St. Louis, MO. where I received my B.S. degree in Psychology from St. Louis University. (summa cum laude, my mom made me include this)
- In 1990, I packed my 1976 red Mustang and drove across the country landing in San Diego where I have called home for over 35 years.
- In 1996, I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at San Diego State University and was licensed as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2000.
- I enjoy spoiling my dog Brutus, the beach, playing softball, spending quality time with friends and family, and of course, traveling. I have been on more than 25 cruises. I have been told many times, "I'm midwestern friendly".
