Most of my youth was spent riding horses, skiing or taking Karate lessons. I was competitive in equestrian sports and marksmanship but couldn't get my dad to sign off on competitive martial arts. I also did a lot of reading and writing; see my interview for more details.
After graduating from the university with degrees in Literature and Anthropology. I served in the US Army. My military career was more than my husband could tolerate so with two sons in diapers I began my single motherhood. I left military service and became a secondary mathematics teacher and running coach.
Running was my medicine, my release from the stress of teaching in inner city high schools and being the sole provider for two sons. I ran several marathons and as many trails as I could find. The higher the altitude, the more of myself I can find.view less
