I am incredibly nerdy, like buy a $60 Lego set so that I can build my own Tardis. However, I am secretly afraid of the weeping angels.

You can only keep your eyes open for so long!

I am a bookworm. I am also a book peddler. I will find a way to insist that you read a specific book because our conversations usually make me yearn for some paperback world that I miss.

I get excited when people refer books that they think I will like. Those are my people.

I like to cross stitch. I find it incredibly therapeutic, and it makes me feel productive when I am really being lazy. Hours of television sounds like you’re wasting your life away until you can show off a new bookmark or Christmas card.

I am the wife of a retired Submariner. I wouldn’t be half of the nerd that I am if it weren’t for him. He’s my live action Kiaju.

Together we have two amazing kids, who are both awesome… and at times scary. We are raising them under a democratic style of parenting we call “The Family Senate.” It is where each member in the house has an equal voting right, and the kids are present in every decision and rule making part of the house. I’m a firm believer that true leaders shouldn’t be above the rules that govern those they lead. I also believe that those who have a say in the rules are more likely to follow them. Our success rate is probably at 75%…

I work part time as an Educational Assistant for a local community college. It is the best job ever! I have an amazing set of coworkers who are equally passionate about learning and talking about scholarly, nerdy stuff.  However, I often feel that I am like Eleanor from The Good Place. I don’t think that I am half as smart as everyone else holding the same position.

Starting in the Fall of 2022, I added Instructor of Composition to my list of many roles and responsibilities. The campus that I work for is a small, liberal arts college nearby. The campus is gorgeous, but the students and staff really make the place such a wonderful place to work. I feel really blessed getting to inspire a new generation of writers.

I also work part time at a publishing company called Wordco.Inc, which specializes in creating indexes for non-fiction texts. It is an amazing opportunity to experience working with authors and publishing companies. I love getting to help writers put the final touches on their work. Also, there are some really smart people in the world; I am learning so much information by getting access to a wide range of content.

Oh and the credentials: In the summer of 2022, I earned a Masters in English from Southern New Hampshire University. Additionally, I graduated in 2018 from the same institution with a Bachelors in Creative Writing and English. I also hold an Associates Degree in General Studies and a Women’s Studies certificate from Three Rivers Community College.

That’s me! Feel free to Contact Me if there are other questions you’re yearning to know, like my preference for Marvel or DC, if I like tea or coffee…

Ya know, those burning soul mate types of questions!
