I'm an artist and writer in my personal life, and in my work life I am an executive assistant with many years' experience. I have a M.A. degree in 'consciousness studies' (aka psychology) from JFKU and a B.A. in mass communications from ASU, plus a professional designation in PR from UCLA.

I am building a geodesic dome in Redwood City, on my home property, which I hope will become an art studio non-profit to help women find their creative and inspirational spirit. It's not about 'talent' but about expressing who you are, finding out who you are, your value, your purpose, your strengths. It's an exciting project and I am finally almost there in accomplishing this dream.

As part of this key life focus now -- for myself -- I'd like to make my income life about helping others, too, and change my executive assistant work into the non-profit arena as well, and to that end, if you or someone you know would like to hire a seasoned EA for their non-profit, do let me know. I bring a lot of skills to the table, not just the typical admin support, and I want to make a difference. You can find my info on LinkedIn and JobFox, and I would be happy to send you my resume.

When my art studio is built, I will re-connect here with updates and news. My project is at healingthezebra.com.
