• I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I am the daughter of a preacher and one of five children. I am a wife to a wonderful retired police detective and we have three beautiful children together. I love the warm weather and enjoy early morning walks and talks with the Lord. I enjoy learning and I love to teach. My family is extremely important to me.  In my spare time I like to read and spend time working in my flower garden.
