The Purple Door

I was born and raised in Morristown, New Jersey, approximately 32 miles from NYC. Morristown was also the location where General George Washington established two winter encampments during the Revolutionary War.

After graduating from high school I enrolled in many Dale Carnegie Business Classes, and I started my career as an Administrative Assistant to the Marketing and Customer Engineering Branch Manager at IBM in N.J., NYC, and Boca Raton, Florida.

Several years later I finished college and received my degree in Early Childhood Education. I was employed as a special needs job coach, and taught pre-school at Bright Horizons, worked in Special Ed at the Issaquah Schhol District for 10 years. In addition, I have taught Sunday School, and I have been tutoring grades K-6 for the past 12 years.
