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.
