 Rita Porter, Senior Reviewer
I attend OTC as a full time student working on my general education with emphases in Computer System Information, which swallows up three-fourths of my time.
If I have leisure time, most often I am at a park (book in hand), walking the paths or out with friends enjoying their company. I am also a parent of a college-aged daughter (talk about sapping any free time!)
I have been a reviewer at Scribe & Quill and with Beverly for over five years. It has been a marvelous time. The books and the people I have met are some of the greatest out there. |
