| Introduction | I'm currently under the influence of testosterone tyranny. I'm Mom to two adult sons (29 and 22), a 7 year old son and my precious 1 year old grandson. I have a B. A. degree in Human Development and am working on a Master's of Science in Human Development/Family Studies with an additional certification in Addictions Counseling. I teach an undergrad class in Human Development as part of a teaching assistantship. I love teaching and my career path may take a turn in that direction. I "retired" as a Paramedic a few years ago but still I teach CPR independently. I hope to tackle program development/research/policy change in human services.......current human services policies do little to serve the community or advance humanity! I've volunteered for a Fire Department and Civil Defense. I have a heart to protect people who are unable to protect themselves. Currently, I volunteer with two organizations (VAS and NIAGS) that advocate and guardian (through the court system) incapacitated adults. My passion is ballroom dance an I compete with my fabulous instructor. Dancing brings me joy and is my buffer and my therapy. |
