College:
Park University

Career: I began working for Ma Bell in 1974 and officially retired September 2007 after a very long and good career. The past seven years. I project managed large and complex telecommunications contracts, and prior to that I worked in the Training and Education department teaching via classroom and video broadcast. While working I obtained my Bachelors in Management/Human Resources. After retirement I started my own business as a Corporate Coach working in people and organizational development. My specialty is leadership development and helping people create customer loyalty strategies.

5 Years from now...
I will work part-time and do more traveling.

Retirement
I don't expect to truly retire for another ten years. However, we enjoy traveling and spending time with our families.

Other Information:
My husband Tom and I also have a wonderful two year old miniature cocker spaniel named Cayla who we love and adore, and 2 grand-puppies. One is a Bichon-Poodle and the other an Australian Shepherd. We love all of them.

After Graduation I: Went to work

College:
Boise State University

Career: After graduation, I worked a variety of jobs: KFC assistant manager, Tupperware factory worker, grocery checker, professional maid and insurance claims examiner. Since going to work of the State of Idaho in 1996, I’ve been an Accounting Trainer at Health and Welfare, a Senior Accountant at Idaho Dept of Parks and Recreation and am currently at the Office of the State Controller. I’m currently studying to become a Certified Fraud Examiner.

5 Years from now...
I’ll probably still be working for the State (the retirement benefits are looking good). Maybe where I am - and maybe not – just never know what the future may bring.

Retirement
Retirement is about 12 years out and PERSI statements are looking pretty good for the projected benefit at that time. I just keep my fingers crossed that the folks in the Statehouse don't do something really stupid that jeopardizes my retirement between now and then. Of course, I do buy a lottery ticket upon occasion, because it could happen.

Other Information:
Life is very good. My children and grandchildren are healthy, doing great and seldom asking for money. My health is good. I’m skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, camping and loving life. I have a wonderful mate who is very supportive and loving. What more could a person ask of life?
