About Me	When I left Wilson in 1980 I moved to Lubbock, Texas where I graduated in 1982. I moved back to Ransomville in the summer of 1982 got married and by 1984 had two beautiful children Roger and Angela. By 1987 my husband at the time was in the military and got stationed at Ft Lee, Virginia. I went to college there and worked as a professional photographer for three and a half years while I put myself through Medical School. I became a Certified Med Tech in the fall of 1992. My marriage ended so I moved back to New York in 1993 when my mother became ill. I got a job working for St Mary's Hospital and was one of their first employees to work on their pilot program to help open the Neighborhood Family Care Center in the Unity Park area of Niagara Falls. I remarried and had two more children Alfie born in 1995 then Valerie born in 1996. It was a rewarding career but once my youngest daughter was born I took maternity leave. Then my father became ill with a terminal form of Pancreatic Cancer and passed away in 1998. I stayed home to raise my children for two years then in 2000 moved to Oklahoma. My marriage ended and ready for a change I went back to school and became a Computer Repair Tech. I worked for Gateway as a Technical Support Operator for five years. Although I enjoyed the challenge of computer science but I missed working in the medical field. In 2001 I also started working for the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma at their clinic, the White Eagle Health Center I was their Patient Advocate but then they found out I knew how to fix computers so I ended up also working as their Site Manager, performing all their technical/network support. I stayed working for the tribe until last August when I moved to Enid, Oklahoma. I married again in 2002. I started singing professionally in 2004 as part of a Southern Gospel Trio "The Johnsons". In between working I have traveled from NY to AZ several times. I am currently taking time off from my technical career to sing and get my health in check. Working and traveling all those years had taken its toll. But I plan on going back to College. Depending how our singing schedule g...(read more)
