Brief biography
I grew up in Canada and trained as a Teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. After moving to several US areas, I settled in Onalaska where I have lived with my husband and two daughters for 22 years.
I enjoy traveling, hiking, audiobooks, music, hanging out with my family & dogs. As an "empty nester", I have begun training and competing with my Mini Schnauzer - Cora in Dog Agility and other dog sports.
