She has been involved with the education of children for most of her adult career as a director of early childhood education programs, as a teacher in gifted and talented programs and most recently as an elementary education teacher. She has been an editor of the ScienceWiz(TM) Books since 1994 when she edited the ElectroWiz(TM) Electricity book.

To quote an Einstein of an earlier generation: "We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born." - Albert Einstein
