I teach Freshman Composition at Ivy Tech Community College in Evansville IN. I love teaching!! That's why I've been in the profession since 1976. I taught high school from '76 to '88, but then I found my niche as a college instructor. It's the best thing that ever happened to me (professionally). As far as my personal life, I have a wonderful husband, who also teaches at the college level (graphic design at University of Southern Indiana). And I'm a cat lover. We currently have three cats. I love to travel and have toured all 48 contiguous states, several Canadian provinces, the Caribbean, Mexico, Germany, England, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France. Ultimately, my dream trip is a cruise to Alaska, which I hope we get to do one of these days since Alaska and Hawaii are the only two states I have yet to visit. When I'm not grading essays, I also enjoy reading, the theatre, and dining out.
