I was born in India where I earned my BS. While getting my BS I went to evening school and took a two-year child psychology course.I then married in 1978 and moved to the United States and settled in Tacoma, Washington.

I currently live in Gig Harbor. My husband is an Anesthesiologist and we have two great children, my son is a Cardiologist and in private practice in New Jersey. He is married and has two children a eight-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy. My daughter is a Biomedical engineer and also earned an MBA and currently working in California at a company called Karat. She is married and has two daughters, one is three years old and the other is 2 months old! I always wanted to be a teacher and work with children. All along I was interested in the Montessori system. I obtained my primary Montessori teaching certificate and have been teaching for 26 wonderful years.
