I spent my childhood in Titusville, Florida across the river from the Space Center at Cape Canaveral. Our family calendar revolved around art festivals and Space Shuttle launches. My mom was an artist and My dad worked at the Space Center in the 1980’s.

We would feel the rumble and would run out into the front yard and into the street to watch the launch. My dad knew exactly when the launches were going to happen, and he would prep us for the count down, he was often one of the last to leave the launch pad before take off. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven… this is how I learned to count backwards when I was four years old.

My dad worked with NASA when I was a little girl, and often took me to the Space Center. We never missed a launch. I was there when the Challenger exploded, looking into the sky.

Space Exploration was a very normal part of my childhood, but I knew it was special. When I was 12 I was certain that I would be an astronaut or aerospace engineer, or maybe I was going to be a Space Camp Director.

As a child I struggled with Dyslexia and Asperger's, but over came many of my struggles because of my wonderfully supportive parents! I am now a homeschooling mother of fifteen, several adopted from Ukraine.

In 2011 I began creating therapy and curriculum for children with ADHD, Dyslexia & Autism. You can learn more by searching for Fun-Schooling & Dyslexia Games.
