Most of my education is in the life sciences, including Zoology and Genetics. I do, however, have a passion for all of the sciences, with Geology and Statistics thrown in for good measure.

I graduated Nursing school and have been an RN since 1991. My specialty areas were Geriatrics and Oncology. I also worked as a corporate nurse, conducted interviews, hired nursing personnel, taught CNA classes, and conducted staff in-services for health and safety.

One of my most heartfelt passions is wildlife biology and conservation.

I have successfully raised orphaned baby beavers, cottontail rabbits and various species of wild birds for release back into their natural habitat when possible.

I love working with reptiles, keeping and breeding Chameleons (Veiled and Mellers), Desert Horned Lizards, and Bearded Dragons.

When I have the time I build stained glass lamp shades, wedding and other special occasion cakes, and have been successful making and selling bridal bouquets and wedding arrangements and sets.

I now work from home while studying business and marketing. Freelance writing is a wonderful outlet for my varied interests, and I have become proficient in SEO, though keeping up with the ever changing theories is a challenge.

My story is a portrait of miracles. In 1987 I was bitten by a rabid Raccoon. I was told that I was the first person to survive Rabies since the 1800's. On June 1, 2009 I began treatment for Pancreatic Cancer. Once that was behind us my husband was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer and began treatments on June 1, 2010. His is also a success story, with his last two PET scans being completely clear.
