I had two childhood goals. I wanted to teach and I wanted to write. I even kept pen and paper on the nightstand to record my dreams before they faded each morning.
However the dreams did fade. Life intervened, and school, then commuting and work in New York City, pushed both teaching and writing aside.
Armed with a BS in Management and an MBA in Executive Management from St. John’s University, I embarked on a career in the corporate financial services world. Work as a Human Resources Director for several international firms kept me hopping (and the travel wasn’t bad, either!).
But the corporate world wasn’t enough for me. The more I studied God’s Word, the more I wanted to teach and share what I learned. I received an Adult Bible Studies Certificate from Moody Bible Institute. Small group ministry grew into a teaching ministry. Writing is yet another way I can share the joys of walking with the Living Word.
In 1999 we moved from New York to Florida, where I live with my wonderful husband, Russ (a retired Deputy U.S. Marshal), and our boxer, Romer. (He is a rescue dog, and though it took several years, he finally trained us!)
In addition to leading Bible studies at church, I teach a weekly interdenominational Bible study class of 175 women from more than 40 different churches.
I’m also a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), Christian Author’s Network (CAN), and The Writer’s View.
When I’m not teaching or writing, I’m reading—frequently on our back patio in the warmth of the Florida sun (yes, I do use sunscreen!)—and enjoying the blessing of doing what I love most!
