“As for me, all I know is that
I know nothing.” Socrates said these now immortal words over 2000 years ago, and
I couldn’t agree more. I am a permanent student having earned certificates at
the Alliance Francaise in Paris, France and the University of Salzburg in
Salzburg, Austria. I was a Pre-Law student studying Political Science with
minors in Western European Studies and English Writing from the University of
Pittsburgh when I met my husband of now 26 years and started our family. I
continued my studies at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and the
University of Houston when our family moved to Texas. I believe in being a
student of life. God has graced me with a passion for communication and a love
for teaching it. Having been a state and national champion in speech and a
college debater, I coached my son as well as my daughter and several of her
friends privately through their high school years in both speech and debate. I
reside in Plano, TX with my husband and four adorable cats. My son attends
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, studying Physics and Geology. My
daughter, who has earned two bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Aerospace
Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, will be working on her
PhD in Nuclear Physics at Old Dominion when not serving her country as a Medivac
Pilot in Afghanistan. My son-in-law, a graduate of ERAU as well, is a Black Hawk
pilot with the 82nd Airborne Unit out of Fort Bragg and is deployed
to Afghanistan.
