Introduction

Hi Everyone!

Just a little information about who I am. I graduated from Grove City College in 1982 with degrees in Business Administration and Psychology. After graduating I worked in the Mood Disorders Clinic at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh during the day and taught aerobics at night (those were the years of leotards and leg warmers...try not to be jealous!). I got married to Ken in 1983 (yep, we celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss this fall!). When Ken accepted a job in South Carolina, I decided to move with him since long distance relationships don't work for me. So thus ended our years in the North.
While in SC, I opened and managed two offices in two different cities for a temporary staffing company. One of my customers decided they couldn't live without me, so they were able to lure me away from the glamorous world of temporary staffing to the equally glamorous world of manufacturing. Thus began my career in human resources.
I worked for the Robert Bosch Corporation until 1992 when I delivered twins (a boy and a girl). At that point I determined that I didn't operate well in the workforce with an average of 3 hours of sleep a night, so I retired from the full-time, regular workforce.
For the next 14 years I enjoyed being a wife, a mom, a domestic engineer, and a teacher (I taught preschool and homeschooled my children). During those years we moved to NC and traveled to many cool places (skiing in Colorado, scuba diving in the Caymens, zip-lining in Belize, sunning in Cancun, waterfall climing in Jamaica, and touring through Ireland and London, England). Then the real thrills began when I entered the OT masters program at ECU in the fall of 2006! I never thought I would want to go back to school, but then I learned what Occupational Therapy was all about and my perspective changed. I am looking forward to graduating this December and entering the "never a dull moment" of the world of OT.
I am excited about this AT class since I really enjoyed the first one. I learned so much from reading the posts of others last time, I'm sure this semester will be even better.
Have fun!
