about: I am a Baltimore, Maryland native who has worked in the educational arena for the past twenty-six years. I was employed as a Financial Aid Counselor for eighteen years in the private and state college settings. Since 2005, I have worked for the Public Schools of Robeson County (North Carolina) where I currently serve as the Career and Technical Education Coordinator. Growing up, I have always loved to write, but had never thought to write a book. I was lead to publish a book after being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow/plasma cells. Keeping a journal was very therapeutic for me during my treatment process, while trying to cope with other life-altering situations all at the same time.
