Was a high school dropout (how dumb was that!). Got married (dumber still), then had three children and divorced the albatross. Ten years out of high school, I went back to school and college and within eight years received a doctorate.
Before I discovered quilting in 2004, I was a higher education administrator at several universities and an Executive Director of statewide math and science programs (at different times) in two different states. My focus was in Program Management and Major Fund Raising.
I have lived in a dozen different states during career moves. I loved my jobs, but found that I love quilting more. So, I quit work to spend fulltime in this newfound artistic hobby. When I have some spare time, I also evaluate programs for the Feds.
