To get the messy stuff out of the way, here's my bio on a day by day basis since birth. No, JUST KIDDING! Actually, I'll make it a brief synopsis. Well, I was born and raised in a small town around east central PA. As I grew up, I was a dancer and a competitive gymnast for many years (until my height got in the way).

Education and Work

After High School, I attended Penn State University for 4 years and received a BS in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering.

This is one of Penn State's most well known possessions.....the Nittany Lion Shrine.

Following graduation I was hired by an oil and gas production company, , and for the next four years lived and worked in the incredibly flat and barren lands of west Texas. During that time I persued my MS in Environmental Engineering by correspondence through Colorado State University .   However, after completing about 65% of the program I decided that it was not the "backup" career for me.   At that point, I began to look to the IT industry for future alternative career options.

In the summer of 1998, I transferred to Houston with Chevron. That transfer has brought me to my current position in Chevron's technology company as a Support Engineer in software services.

Is she single? Any children?

Well...... I'm not married at the moment.......nor have I ever been.  And no......I don't have any children.

Any Romance?

Why yes.....I'd love some!!!!! 

Actually  I do happen to have a "special someone" in my life at the moment.  The "where" and "how" of our meeting is really rather amazing and almost sounds like a poor attempt at a "movie of the week" special.  So read the following with caution....ha!ha!

In the first few months of 1997,  while I was still working in west Texas, and he (Paul) was temporarily working in Alabama....we happened to stumble into the same online chat room......yes.....I did say online chat room.  He was working for a company (Air Products and Chemicals) that had just been given a joint government grant with my company (Chevron).  That topic started our "chatting" relationship.  Well as it turns out....he grew up and was currently based with his company in a town about 50 minutes from the town I grew up in Pennsylvania.  (Incidentally, that is where my family still live.)   So, about 6 months after our first "chat", we met in person one afternoon while I was visiting my family on vacation.  I'd like to say the rest is history.....but although that may have been the start of our "romance".....it has taken some rather interesting twists and turns along the way.........some of which include living in different countries, living in the same metorpolitain area, living in neighboring states, and the list goes on.  Don't ask....it's too hard to explain....ha!ha!  In any event.....over 2 years later.....we are still together.....and I'd say happier than ever.  :o)

Miscellaneous Personal Info

Activities I enjoy: Snow skiing, rollerblading, hiking, camping, dancing (I absolutely love any form of it!! - pop, rock, country, ballroom, etc.), and of course a daily dose of exercise in any way, shape, or form I can get it.

Other Interests: I love to cook, with my specialty being Italian foods and all baking (and, yes of course, everything is from scratch). I'm also a huge movie buff, knowing tons of useless info about actors, movie plots and remakes.

In another arena, I enjoy writing prose in several forms. I've recently begun a book (fiction) and I weekly add to my pages and pages of poems and song lyrics. If you would like to view a few samples..pop in for a quick visit at my affiliate site.... This Day Remembered.
