I got my BA in English Literature.  I started out in Asian Studies, but was not dedicated enough in my youth to really apply myself to learning Japanese.  I did spend almost three years in Tokyo, and traveled a bit around Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao.  It was a real adventure for a convent girl from the midwest!

Since then, I have been almost continually taking courses in different subjects.  So far I have credits or certificates from the following institutions:

• St. Mary's College
• University of Notre Dame
• Sophia University
• Salem State College
• Computer Learning Institute
• Harvard Extension School
• New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University
• Sierra Nevada Community College
• Massachusetts College of Art
