I graduated from Howard University . Stayed a while and enjoyed the east coast. I 've worked as manager, supervisor , musuem educator and office manager . Now I am 911 operator for LAPD and raising my family in Pasadena, which has changed but stayed the same .

I lived in washington dc for seven years. I returned to pasadena in 1996.

everyday

I talk to nedra graham,angelique giron,tara vance . I see mahidi and maisha parnell at work. Steve Kalendarian's son and my daughter have been classmates since preschool.

I still want to go to Spain and Italy, and to Egypt. I think I just want to travel more than anything an perhaps work for myself. Still searching for my passion. It changes weekly-waiting for my aha moment.

Spare time - mani/pedi's movies, lunch with friends, reading, baking . Take a long hot bath with nice music and candles but with kids that is not possible.
