I dedicated 26 years to education, serving with the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District 35 and the Nogales Unified School District. My passion for teaching, especially in reading and mathematics, and my deep-rooted interest in storytelling were evident in my role as a first\u2014and second-grade teacher. After retiring, I strongly desired to continue using my education differently, leading me to the fiction writing world. I am proud to have published Elizabeth! Into the Light and Way Beyond! The Scourge, The Lady of the Lake, The Chronicles of Dark Matter Man, My Darling, I Shall Love You Forever! Elizabeth\u2019s Journey<\/em> and Ithaca! The Warrior Queen of Aslon!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My educational journey has been a significant part of my life. I Hold a Master\u2019s Degree in Education Administration from Northern Arizona University, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Prescott College, and an Associate Degree in Social Work from Pima Community College. I also received my Reading Specialist Endorsement and English as a Second Language Endorsement from the State of Arizona, further enhancing my educational qualifications. As a teacher, I was also a storyteller and could entertain groups of students and keep them interested momentarily. This is what motivated me to become an author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a writer, I aim to offer my readers new and fresh creative stories. This commitment to innovation and originality drives me to write. My inspiration often comes from everyday life, and I enjoy weaving these experiences into my narratives. Every story I create presents unique challenges, and I eagerly embrace them, knowing they will lead to a unique and captivating reading experience for my audience. My wish is to produce stories and novels that will captivate my readers. That is who I am and set out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
