About Me:

I attended 3 years at ASU in college of Nursing. I was active on tennis team, sorority and student government.
I completed my senior year at University of Hawaii in Honolulu and remained in the islands to work. I became a pilot and flew around the islands in a single engine Cessna when I wasn't surfing or working in a local hospital. I left the islands to work with a medical team in Niger, Africa and worked out on the edge of the Sahara for a few years before meeting my future french husband and returning to France. We returned to USA and spent time in Phoenix and San Diego.
I was divorced in '84 and have since worked in hospital administration and research facilities in Phoenix, AZ, La Jolla, CA, Washington D.C.
My professional career in nursing has been focused in patient education for diabetes and Endocrinology. I am now basically retired and have been working at the Desert Botanical Gardens as a docent/interpreter. I still love our Sonoran Desert and taking photos of our flora and fauna.
