I love words and language, and I tutor reading and writing to young children. I’m fascinated by classic literature from Shakespeare to Edgar Allen Poe. I love Agatha Christie books and cozy mysteries. I am Team Oxford Comma. I read a LOT. Teaching children to read, especially struggling and dyslexic children, is a passion project for me. I have also written and published five children’s books.
I have been self-employed forever and love to share what I’ve learned over the years with other professionals and small business owners. I own a professional TAX practice. I’ve been an Enrolled Agent, a federally-licensed tax pro, for over ten years, providing tax planning and preparation. I’m also a Certified Financial Coach. I have published three books for fellow Solopreneurs on money management and taxes.
I live in Cypress, Texas, northwest of Houston, with my husband of 30+ years Mike, whom I adore, our three dogs, and one cat. Mike calls me a “big kid.” We are Empty Nesters. We homeschooled two daughters, who are now adults, successfully living their own amazing lives out in the world.
I am a history buff and active in the Daughters of the American Revolution. I give an annual Constitution presentation to our chapter each year.
My Favorite Historical Figures are Leonardo DaVinci, Benjamin Franklin, William Shakespeare, Abigail Adams, and Queen Elizabeth I and II (What? You don’t have a list of favorite historical figures?)
