A native of Vero Beach, FL, I earned an A. A. degree from Indian River Community College, a B. A. in English from Florida Atlantic University and a Masters in Librarianship from Emory University. A highlight of of the library program was the opportunity to attend the International Graduate Summer School at the College of Librarianship in Aberystwyth, Wales.

Prior to signing on at LSCC, I was librarian at Palm Beach Atlantic College in Palm Beach, FL and came to Lake County in 1982 in a search for a more rural environment. My husband is a high school English teacher and I have two wonderful stepdaughters and two grandsons.

I enjoy gardening with herbs, a few vegetables, and lots of native plants. I also love dance, especially classical ballet and modern dance, and have enjoyed watching the Orlando Ballet mature over the years. I enjoy cross stitching and needlepoint, and love working historical needlework designs, including renaissance blackwork and Arts & Crafts patterns inspired by William Morris, William de Morgan and Henry Dearle.
