I enjoy spending free time with my husband and our 3 Cocker Spaniels. Our favorite activity is sitting on my deck watching horses and geese. I also have a new found joy in taking care of flowers and I plan to expand my garden in the future.

Special Memories of Northwest

My fondest memory of Northwest is meeting my husband and being proposed to on the Kissing Bridge. Another memory I have is the many, many hours spent pomping a float for Homecoming.  Working at Northwest for 7 years is another special memory. It was an absolute joy in meeting hundreds of new students each year during summer orientation. Maryville was my home for 19 years and it is always special walking back on to campus.
