At age eleven, Gail became totally blind and soon after developed her "inner vision." Being unstoppable, Gail received a BA and a MM in vocal performance, and a MA in psychology and counseling. Gail has spent her life speaking, writing, performing, and teaching others how to overcome their obstacles, challenges, fears, and life's daily struggles, with the hope of empowering them to see their opportunities, choices, passion, creativity, and to live a life of greatness.
In 2013, Gail was the first blind woman to win both the Ms Colorado Senior America crown, and to place Fourth Runner Up in the National Ms Senior America pageant. In 2014, Gail spoke for the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired Senior Awards Banquet, Indianapolis, Indiana, and the North Dakota Lion's State convention, in Jamestown, North Dakota. "Soaring Into Greatness: A Blind Woman's Vision to Live Her Dreams and Fly" is Gail's first book.view less
