I moved to Chicago with my husband in 1991 from Toronto Canada. I graduated with a B.ed in Education K-12 and a BA honors degree in Psychology. I’ve raised three children and worked teaching off and on while they were growing up. They are now young adults and I will be an empty nester soon. I am back at work teaching and I model and act as well. I am a graduate from The Second City of Chicago Improv program. Over the years, I have been involved and served on various civic and health care service boards in addition to being part of the educational team for Surge for water non-profit organization. In 2011, I had a cancer diagnosis where I received treatment and am now cancer free. I am on “watch and wait” so I am monitored closely.
