I was an Administrative Assistant before I became a Systems Programmer for Merrill Lynch. Jonathan and I celebrated 32 years of marriage this June. While I was a stay at home mom for our two sons, I became a certified teacher's assistant and subbed at several elementary schools in the Arlington and Wappingers Central school districts. I also started my own company selling items at local assisted living homes. I enjoy being out in nature during the summer tending to my flower and vegetable gardens and hiking on the many trails along the Hudson. In the winter I enjoy snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and playing in the snow with our dog Keenai when there's snow! I also love to play gin rummy with Jonathan.
