After spending 22 years as non-profit financial manager, I went back to college to get my Ph.D. in literature. While completing my classwork, I taught classes in World Literature, Technical Writing, American Survey, English Survey, Composition I and II, English Romanticism, and Modernism. My emphasis is in Literature with emphases in American Women Writers, American Modernism, Edna St. Vincent Millay and the study of Fairy Tales as an old genre used in the twentieth century to reconstruct the feminine voice. In addition, I scuba dive,travel,delve around antique shops and sit in coffee bars reading.
