Personal Background
I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago. I attended public schools in Aurora, Illinois. Thereafter, I earned a BS degree in Business Administration from SIU in Carbondale, IL. and a BS degee in Computer Science from Aurora University. I have been employed by Alcatel-Lucent (formerly AT&T and Lucent Technologies) for 23 years. In my spare time I am actively involved in my children's sport activities and school functions. I have volunteered in the community for 15 years with the Aurora Urban League TSTM program, the Aurora Sundowners Track Club and the Telcom Pioneers. I have also held back to school fairs for children at risk. I enjoy making crafts and being creative with my sewing machine.
