Through her enterprise Historical Connections she shares her passion for history with audiences who may not have known how intriguing it is. She presents the programs in period style clothing to match each subject, including programs that are not in first person. In addition to her program about Martha Washington, she has presented programs about different patterns in the life of George Washington. She has also presented several programs about gripping stories from the Civil War, including ones about divided families, unsung women, couples of the War, and daring escapes from slavery.
She has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and a Master’s Degree from Kent State University. She was a professional librarian for 25 years and is an avid lifelong student of history, spending months researching each presentation.
​She has presented at historical societies, Civil War Round Tables, historical reenactments, an adult education organization, historical sites, libraries, and special events, including U.S. Grant Days in Georgetown, OH and Heritage Village Civil War Days in Cincinnati, OH. She has also presented at many retirement communities In her enterprise Historical Connections presentations about the 18th and 19th Centuries she tries to humanize events and allow the audience to feel connected with people who came before.
