A little bit about me...

I won't bore everyone with the long harangue, but I'm a native Hoosier,  born and raised in Valparaiso, a little college town that seemed to grow up overnight and is now a thriving community in the Chicagoland Megalopolis.  After I received my Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Public Relations from Valparaiso University, I got my Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University. I have never actually taught in a K-12 classroom, as my focus was post-secondary administration and adult learning.  

But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once...

I may not have a teaching certificate, but I've worked with Adult Learners for almost 20 years and for almost 10 of those 20 specifically with educational software/hardware in the K-12 environment. Every day I learn something new and welcome the opportunity to continue to learn from all of you here at Greenwood.

Stuff I dig...

I enjoy riding with my hubby on our motorcycle (Yamaha FJR1300), Formula One, MotoGP and IndyCar racing, and I am both a Colts and Bears fan. You can take the girl out of Chicagoland, but you can't make her totally give up her Bears - except for when they play the Colts. I'm a pretty decent cook, I have an admittedly off-beat sense of humor, I love 70's television (I'm more of a Rhoda Morgenstern than a Mary Richards), and I support the Arts in Indianapolis.

Just in case anyone's curious...

I'm married and live on the West Side of Indianapolis in Pike Township.  I have two amazing step-daughters: Alyssa, my oldest, had a baby boy in August, so now I am a proud grandma of TWO!  Kelsey, my youngest, finished Graduate School at the IU School of Medicine and bought her first home.  I am so incredibly proud of both girls! 
I am a Life Member of the VFW Auxilliary and member of the American Legion Ladies Auxilliary.  My Father was a Korean War Veteran and my brother is a retired Colonel in the US Army and served in Desert Storm in 1991.  I am very proud of their service to our Country and thankful for ALL of our men and women who Serve.
