What I read

I avidly follow many of my favorite bloggers, travelers, and foodies. I must admit, although I used to be a voracious reader, now that my life on the road has created a different type of living, I don't read as much as I had previously ~ except online!

Side projects

I love working on volunteer projects and when I was still in Oregon, regularly volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, Fences for Fido, and cooking for the Ronald McDonald houses affiliated with OHSU hospital.

Ideal team

I thrive on enthusiastic, energetic people around me, eager to think of new ways to old problems. I prefer manager feedback, before loosening the reins and letting me run with it.
