ABOUT ME

I am a retired public education professional, now running my own teaching and learning business, and the mom of 3-6 children (depending on how you count them!)  Through more than 12 years of research and practice, I have become a knowledgeable, successful, careful, self-taught investor.  Although I wish I had started 30 years sooner, it's never too late!  I'd love to share my experience and help you get going.

 

For the whole elaborated story,                                    for the long read.  Bonus: Includes an MRI image of my (now gone) brain tumor and a drone shot of our Oak Island NC house.
