During the long winter evenings she read extensively and it was through this that she developed a love of poetry.
Her early education was in a small country school where she shared a classroom and teacher with three other grades. Further schooling led to tertiary studies, a medical degree from McGill University in Montreal and later, a specialist qualification. Her career was spent practising in teaching hospitals.
It was on moving to Australia with her daughter, son and Australian husband that she encountered a very different natural environment and a whole new set of bush creatures.
She lives in Melbourne with her husband. She has a daughter, daughter in law and three grandsons.
Her leisure interests include gardening, music, travel and handicrafts.view less
