Bio

I am a 50 yr. old adult learner back in college after 30 years away. I arrived here after a bit of a kick in the pants from my employer about not being qualified for my own job because I don't have a degree. However, I have fully embraced the journey and am learning more about myself and the world around me than I ever thought possible, even from my fellow students that are younger than my daughter. It just goes to show that you actually can teach an old dog new tricks! At the end of this journey, I will leave corporate health care and embark on a new career as a landscape architect specializing in sustainability.
