about me

I am the sole proprietor of Windy City Indexing. I have always loved learning and excelled academically, finishing in the Top 10 of both my high school and college classes. Intense study of textbooks and scholarly works were vital to this success. In graduate school, I demonstrated my knowledge of 100+ fictional titles in a series of examinations. I suppose am no stranger to books!

As a mother, reading has been an integral part of my relationship with my children. Now that they are all of school-age, I have time to dedicate to a second career. Indexing allows me the flexibility I need to take care of home and family while exercising my academic mind!

I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago where I enjoy cross country skiing in the winter and gardening in the summer.
