Back to Blogging!


Hi there!

On July 5, 2011 I started a new adventure in my life, a lifelong dream of mine to become a college instructor!

The journey up to this point in my life has been long and winding. At times rocky and somewhat tumultuous, and at others it was calm seas and smooth sailing. During the years since I decided that being an adult educator was a goal I continued to operate a very successful business, be active in my children's lives, and to be a "Bammah" (this name was coined by my oldest grandson Tony) to what is now a brood of 8 grandchildren. I also completed the remaining 1 1/2 years to finish my Bachelors of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) Degree Online at the University of Phoenix Online (after a 25 year hiatus). Immediately followng my BSBA degree I began in earnest to seek my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) as this was required by all college level institutions in order to become a college instructor. I received my MBA from Norwich University in Northfield, VT, through their online program. It was an 18 month program, which including attending the university campus in Vermont at the end of the 18 months to complete our coursework, meet faculty face-to-face, our fellow students, and to present our final papers and debates. So I even got to experience college dorm life, a pleasant surprise in an online environment.

I am throughly enjoying the teaching experience. I love learning, and helping my students to expand their horizons in education. I would say we had a great first week in EN1101 Composition 1, at Brown Mackie Albuquerque.
