Biography My passions in life are my children and music. My children are what keep me young, and help me keep my life in the right perspective. The power of play is extraordinary, for children and the child in me. Guitar is my instrument of choice. Without music, I would be lost in this world. Music inspires me, sets me free and keeps me sane. Though I have yet to meet anyone who dislikes music, I have a passion for it well above the average human. |

Biography I was born in Hawaii, where I attended both public and private schools, then moved to Georgia after my twelfth birthday. I graduated from a public school in 2000, and continued on to college the following year. While working full-time at an insurance agency in 2001, I met my husband, Damon, and his daughter, Halle. We joke that I dated him to raise our sales for the quarter, and then married him to assure customer retention. I had attended college in Georgia for two years when we received orders to Okinawa, Japan. The promise of an ever changing military life prompted me to enroll with the University of Phoenix online, where I chose to study International Business and Marketing. Two years later, in 2005, I was still working full-time and had only completed my first year of studies, so I decided to instead attend school full-time. Early this year, I made a career change and began working part-time as a substitute teacher to allow more time toward my studies. I fell in love with this type of work, and have since changed my field of study to Psychology and Communication so that I may pursue a career in counseling. In the past, I was somewhat skeptical about attending college on island because I wanted to assure my studies were not interrupted with a sudden relocation. However, much to our delight, this summer our orders were extended indefinitely; allowing me to return to a traditional university. After months of research and numerous counselor visits, this is my first semester with the University of Maryland University College, and I could not be happier with the experience.
