I graduated from Elgin Community College in 1997 with an Associates Degree in Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technology. I have always enjoyed cooking,and in 2005, I became a cookbook author after my cookbook,"Feeding The Flock" was published. I also have six recipes published in Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks.   In 2008, I was inducted into World Wide (formerly Cambridge) Who's Who in Executives,Professionals and Entreprenuers of which I am a Lifetime and Platinum Member. On April 3rd, 2013, I was chosen as a VIP of the Year in Authorship for my book,"My Battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," which reached number five on the Amazon Medical Best Sellers list in June, 2012. In October, 2013 I was chosen as Top Female Executive of the year and in May, 2014, I was selected as Top Female Executive for Life. In November, 2014, I was selected as the Top Ranked U. S.

Lutheran Church in St.Charles,Illinois, and along with two other ladies, created a cooking group designed for fellowship and community outreach. The major influences in my life have been my parents, my grandmother, my ministers and all my dear friends.
