I was born to the Air Force, with my father serving and moving with the whims of the service for the first 18 years of my life. Then I enlisted and started an incredible journey that included many living in foreign lands and many states, marrying my dear British husband, and raising my incredibly talented daughter. Later, I retired from the Air Force, but the force was too strong for me to get away; I worked as a civilian for the Air Force for seven years.

Now, I work for the State of Idaho, and it's so different I truly enjoy the work and the challenges.  I have a great boss and coworkers that make me laugh and feel part of a family.  Though politics can get in the way, it is government after all; I enjoy it and hope to make a difference.

By the way, I know there are a lot of stereotypes of Idaho.  However, the stereotypes are wrong.  Idahoans tend to be pretty conservative, but they are also open-minded, caring, and forward-looking.  The Aryan Nation group, which so many people have heard about, was actually kicked out of the state several years ago, and their compound has been turned into a positive venue.  Most Idahoans would welcome more diversity in the state.  Come visit and check it out.
