I was born and raised in New Hampshire.  After graduation from Merrimack High School, I attended Concord Hospital School of Nursing.  As an RN, I have held various nursing positions in the specialty areas of Orthopedics, Cardiopulmonary, Obstetrics/Gynecology,  school nursing, and geriatrics.  My most favorite and rewarding position in my nursing career was as instructor in Health Occupations at Berks Career and Technical School in Pennsylvania.
I attended  the New Hampshire Institute of Arts obtaining my Certificate in Photography in 2002.
I am passionate about hiking, biking, kayaking , swimming, boating, nature, photography, writing, music, history, gardening, birding, and creating with food.
My most meaningful experiences come with time spent with my children and grandkids, my niece, family, and friends.
