She attended a Catholic, all-girl high school--Sacred Heart of Jesus--and a public, co-ed university--the University of New Orleans--before obtaining graduate degrees elsewhere. Travel as a flight attendant for an international airline broadened her point of view. A diverse career in education fostered a desire to communicate in multiple ways for maximum engagement and understanding. These characteristics guide her writng and public speaking.
