I was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. I got married back in 1982 and moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with my husband since he was involved in building the new King Khalid International Airport there. It was a culture shock for me.  I was able to travel through Europe which I loved.  My favorite places were France, Switzerland, and England. We divorced in 1985 and I'm hoping to travel again to see Ireland, Italy, and Germany.

I am currently working as a Substitute Teacher for Fife Public Schools. I am working on obtaining an English endorsement and would like to teach English/Drama. I lived in Saudi Arabia back in the early eighties and I am writing a Screenplay about it. As well as other screenplays that are inspired by actual events. I became inspired for Theatre/Film Arts through my great-uncle Robert Francis McGowan. The original Director of The Our Gang/ Little Rascals movies at Hal Roach Studios back in the 1920's.

My career began in community theater. There is also a family history in the Arts.

I have a drama and journalism background.

My biggest challenge is working in a man's world.

My greatest strengths are my faith based system and the support from family and friends.

My greateset accomplishment was when I reported things to the authorities when I saw an injustice.

My vision is to continue to do the work and move to Los Angeles.

The work itself inspires me everyday.

I would like to be remembered as a woman who brought justice to the world.
