 Q: Where have you earned your college degrees?

A: University of Maryland, University College - Adelphia, MD

Q: What program(s) did you study? How did you choose your major?

A: History for undergraduate followed by a Master of Business Administration. I chose to study History as I have always been a History buff and at the time I was pursuing the degree, my three children were in K-8 programs...a lot of my research projects included family trips to historical sites! The MBA program was chosen as it gave me the opportunity to become familiar with the mechanics involved in running an organization in both the private industry and government sectors.

A: The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
