My dog Trooper is my baby.  He turned 1 year-old on February 24th.  I had a small birthday party for him with 8 of his closest "furiends." That's me holding the "puppy cakes" and singing Happy Birthday.

I completed my B.A. Degree 20 years ago as a full-time working adult and a mother of two (I was about 7 months pregnant with Tyler when I walked in my commencement ceremony).  So I know the challenge of working full-time and going to school.

This journey means even more to me because my daughter Emily started her M.A. in Education at POC this past fall.  If everything goes as plans, we should be getting our M.A. Degrees at the same commencement ceremony next summer.

I have been playing Bunco with the same group of friends for over 10 years.  Each month we meet at someone's house for food, laughter and a fun game of Bunco.  We call ourselves, TC Bunco Babes.

I started scrapbooking 19 years ago.  During this time I have created over 40 scrapbooks.  My books not only have photographs, but also has memorabilia and art work from my children's lives. In addition each book has extensive journaling to help me remember events.

I’m the Human Resource Director at Total Education Solutions (TES), a management company that provides therapeutic and special education service online and in schools, homes and communities to children and young adults in California, Michigan and Ohio.

I've been with TES since September of 1990. I started out as the Administrative Assistant to the President and in 1998 (one week before the birth of my youngest son) was provided the opportunity to become the HR Manager.

I love my job with TES because it provides me the opportunity to work with a group of people that I love.

Below is a picture of my office decorated for my birthday.

Most important thing you need to know about me is that I've been a die-hard Denver Bronco fan since 1981.  Go Broncos!

I have been married to my husband, James, for over 20 years, but we've known each other for over 40 years.

I am a mother of three children, Matthew (29), Emily (24) and Tyler (19) and a Vizsla named Trooper.  Trooper is my pride and joy and keeps me on my toes since my kids are now full grown.
