I began my career at 14 working assisting patients with meals in a nursing home; eventually working up to CNA. When I was 18 I started as a receptionist at United Way, Spokane County moving to secretary; multilith operator and then the computer department. After 4 years I took a job at a law firm; Winston & Cashett, in their computer department; doing computer input and billing; eventually programming statistical forms in RPGII. Upon moving to Coeur d'Alene I began bookkeeping for a trucking company, a salesmen, and a couple of contractors and eventually flooring companies. I have been with Lake Forest Interior Design Center for 20 years doing all of their data entry, payroll, accounts payable and receivable. I also have assisted by ordering flooring, furniture, lighting, blinds and arranged transport for materials shipped in the United States and Mexico. On the side I do bookkeeping for a Condo Association and have helped a couple of contractors get out of a tax mess with the IRS and State of Idaho. I also have a skin care business selling natural skin care products. For my leisure time, which is few and far between, I enjoy gardening and riding an Indian Motorcycle.
