My academic background is well rounded marked by high achievement. I graduated third in my class from high school with all A's my sophomore, junior and senior years. The College of Wooster is a very well respected university in Ohio. I was a teacher's assistant in my major studies. It was essential to express your academic thoughts in writing exceptionally well to succeed at this college. I transferred to Muskingum College (now University) my junior year. I placed out of Writing Skills because I know how to write very well. I was also a finalist in my senior year's Speech Night competition. I graduated with a QPA of 3.2.

My sophomore year of college I attended World Campus Afloat. I flew to Los Angeles CA since Irwin College was the sponsoring college at that time. While at sea I took college classes by professors there on staff. We ported in Hawaii, Fiji Islands, Australia both Sydney and Perth, Indonesia, Ceylon, India at Bombay traveling then to the Taj Mahal, Djibouti, Kenya traveling on safari to Uganda and Tanzania, South Africa at Cape Town, Ghana, and Puerto Rico then to Miami.

In 2009 I took the entrance exam to UPMC Shadyside School of Registered Nursing. My test scores after six weeks of study were Vocabulary 99%, Math 91%, Reading Comprehension 94%, Natural Science 91%. I could not become an RN due to a back injury.

My sons attended a private school that required consistent parental involvement in their studies. My oldest son is a Physical Therapy Assistant studying to be an RN. My second son is a CPA with an MBA. My third son is a CPA with his Master's Degree in Accounting and he is currently working on his MBA.

Professionally and personally I am known as a kind and patient person.
