I was born in Philadelphia and have lived in the area my entire life. I have always been interested in the creative arts ever since I was a girl. When I adopted my son in 1978, I was very much involved in his education and the education of children of all ages. This love of education started after I earned my Master’s in Education from Temple and became a teacher. I used to write creative stories with the classes I lead in story hour. I encourage people of all ages to write and to share stories always.
