Born and raised in Germany, I came to the United States in 1976. Since then, Kentucky has become my home. It has always been my dream to work with children. I am blessed to do so for the last 25 years. I completed my B.S. in Early Childhood Education at Western Kentucky University. I am the director of a parochial preschool and childcare program. I also teach German to children in Kindergarten through 8th grade. My iPod contains music by Paul Simon, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, and Bob Dylan. I love their music. I doubt that this will ever change; after all, I am a child of the 60s. Difficult times have brought me back to the seeds of my faith. I completely understand the meaning of trusting the master plan. That trust has guided me to where I am today, one step at a time. I am always open to a game of chess. My favorite place to go is home. I enjoy yard work, reading, walking, and spending time with my family and friends. I have a passion for all types of creative arts. I dislike anything that is not authentic; may it be a flower, or a personality.
