About Me

Leaving the cold north, I am excited to move to Florida! With my husband, I look forward to spending a lot of time at the beach, and outdoors, in general.

As I child in a large family (six siblings), I often wondered why we were so different, which lead to my interest in psychology. Having changed fields in midlife, I am positive this is where I am supposed to be.

Because I have worked with children my entire life (starting with babysitting), I am passionate about anyway of enriching children's lives, including the ones we sponsor in South America.
