She's from West Hampton, RI and attented University of Hartford for Psychology. The school offered her a free degree if she worked for the communications department in return. She earned her degree in Education and as soon as she was done, she was ready for work. A professor told her if she wants to be hired she would have to go to Las Vegas. She moved out there and taught for ten years. Here she struggled with underprivelaged kids that were known for gangs. She worked with many of them, and still keeps in contact with some to this day. She came back to the East Coast because she had two children and thought it would be much safer for them. She has been teaching at Franklin Pierce University for five years.
