I am fortunate to have a great variety of interests, passions and skills and have avidly pursued them throughout my career. My career path has been filled with focus and passion as I have pursued multiple paths along the way and through each of them have acquired a multitude of skills, perspectives and rich experiences. There have been major trajectories in my career path: art and design, healthcare, higher education administration, small business development and management, interior design and arts administration. Within these worlds I have been a researcher, writer, healthcare practitioner, business administrator, operations manager, performing and visual arts curator, event producer, artist, designer, graphic & web site designer, director, presenter, teacher, coach, and more. The common thread among these roles has been to bring expansion and growth to those I work with and to be of service. I have a strong interest in social justice and outside of my professional interests, I have been involved in working with incarcerated individuals, un-sheltered families, and people with living with HIV/AIDS. I thrive when utilizing my many skills and, ever curious and adaptable, am open to developing new skills and paths. I am comfortable with and enjoy wearing many hats. I work best in an environment where I am able to use both "left brain/right brain"​ skills, being both highly analytical and creative. I am always my best when given opportunities to be creative and to inspire and help others.For pleasure, I love to dance, explore and listen to a vast variety of music, read, make things, rearrange furniture, cavort with dogs and take long, rambling walks.
