I hold a bachelor’s degree from Alverno College, Milwaukee, WI, in Philosophy, with minors in English Lit and Theatre Arts; and a Master’s degree in Counseling from University of Maryland College Park. My writing reflects the philosophical and psychological quirks of the human experience, with a lot of humor, surrealism, and fantasy thrown into the mix. I try not to take myself seriously, and I'm determined to live life on my own terms, in as much as I can control, which I realize often is not much...I currently live in Ajijic, Mexico with my two cats, Isan and Lucy. I am also an accomplished photographer, painter, and graphic artist.
