Some of my favorite things are spending time with my granddaughters, needlepointing, collecting dollhouses + miniatures, playing board games with my family, and most recently, oil painting.

I enjoy pursuing photographic projects: Waterloo 2020, Monroe County Shared, Beyond 50, and The Santa Experience in the Stone Cellar are just a few.

I taught for 34 years. The teaching profession brought me great joy and there are many times that I still miss it.

My work has appeared in several publications. I am also a member of Professional Photographers of America, Missouri Professional Photographers Association, and the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce.
