About My Library
I started reading biographies when I was about to fly on a business trip in 1993. Busy year that it was I'm not sure if I was flying to Milwaukee, Tempe, or San Francisco. Suffice it to say I enjoyed reading about the lives of some well known actors or royalty. I enjoyed reading the books of Sylvia Browne too as her take gives me hope that it's not the end when you go to the great beyond. I really enjoy Sophie Kinsella's books because I like reading an English woman's take on life, and I enjoy the quick wit of Lauren Weisberger in The Devil Wears Prada. I'm a transplanted New Yorker so this book has that metropolitan vibe.
About Me
I'm a support scientist in the life science industry. I was premed in college. I attended Fordham Grad School of Arts and Sci at Rosehill in NYC for my Masters. I grew up the middle of 3 siblings but wound up like a first born. My brothers enjoy computers so one is a software engineer and the other is a software architect. I'm happily married, have sponsored several children through Children Internationl. I'm prayerful. I enjoy summers in New England and with my parents and extended family.
