Experience—
SummaryI was born in Michigan and went to college in New York. After graduation, I worked in Florida with the children of Cuban refugees, helping them to transition to our school systems. Then I came to Alaska and began to work in Eskimo villages teaching at various levels. We adopted children in addition to those I had given birth to and then took them all to the South American jungles in Peru, where we taught school and my husband was an administrator. We came back to Alaska and taught for many years. I was a school district administrator in charge of special programs for several years. My husband was killed in a plane crash. I retired and worked for a bit in Taiwan and then went back to work in the villages and married a school psychologist. We retired and then developed a school consultant business and worked in rural school districts. I began to work in China in summer programs and have enjoyed it very much.
