I am the proud Mother of two adult children and Grandma of 2-year-old twins! I hold a B. S. Degree in Civil Engineering from Va Tech, spent a few unfulfilling years in the electric utilities industry, did a 14 year stint with the fast-paced financial industry in Charlotte, NC. Then I followed my true calling and became a teacher. I now have 15 years experience as a classroom teacher with the public education system in North Carolina and Florida. Still feeling the desire to serve and nurture, albeit in a different capacity, I look forward to making my varied and apparently in demand skill set available to families and individuals. Throughout my years as a teacher (and simply as a proactive caring human) I have nurtured and cared daily for children with diagnoses including ADD, ADHD, autism, obesity, food/environmental allergies, Tourette syndrome, cognitive disorders, diabetes, asthma, behavioral disorders, visual impairment, speech impairments, mobility challenged.
