I am a mother to three wonderful kids that keep me a soccer and band mom. That’s OK, it is what life is about. My love for literture and writing is what helps me pay bills. I am a graduate of Libertyville High School and Triton College. I love to contribute in the Illinois News area.

I am from Springfield Illinois where I attended Sacred Heart Academy before everything became SHG. I then went to UIS and studied business, but writing is what I do. 🙂
