I was born on the 17th of
June,
1968 making me a
Gemini born in the
year of the Monkey. I lived most of my childhood in country
Victoria (
Australia), until I started work with the Australian Public Service in
1985, when I then made the move to the Big City (ie. Melbourne). I "retired" from the APS in
1998 after accepting a voluntary redundancy offer. Shortly after I left the workforce, I moved to
Frisco, Texas to become a student.
Educational Life
I attended
Collin College from
2000 to
2005, where I received an Associates Degree in Applied Science (E-Business Media) and an Associates Degree in Arts. Upon finalizing my studies at CCCCD, I transferred to the
University of North Texas, in
Denton,
Texas, and graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in
Sociology in May 2007. I intend to continue with
graduate school in the field of
Sociology.
