Description

😊 Hello!
Thank you for checking out my profile!

📌 ABOUT ME/BACKGROUND

I'm an artist. Writing is my medium, and it's why I've departed from traditional work roles. I've just finished and submitted my memoir and it's in review now. To nurture this project though, I have to write, and find creative ways to tell the world about my book—all at a time of tremendous global pain.

I've lived on 3 continents and I seem to fall in love with each place I moved to. I was born and raised in the USA, but I've lived in Canada, the Caribbean, South Korea, and Portugal.

I got my B.A. in Child Studies in Texas, and my M.Ed. in Curriculum Development in Tennessee. I spent most of my career teaching World History and English. The most impactful part of my life happened while I lived in South Korea — because it was when I was introduced to meditation, which opened me up to understanding the world in a new way.

After South Korea I returned to the U.S. and lived in Southern California. I co-founded a nonprofit. As a co-founder I lead all operations and logistics, budgeting, and so much more. One of the art projects I am most proud of is this: watch: https://vimeo.com/390199360

I stopped teaching in 2015 and transitioned into the Tech space — working in mobile apps and pet health, and later Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence. When I moved to Portugal I said goodbye to my nonprofit, and shortly after I left the blockchain space in 2023 and I turned my focus towards writing.

📌 WHY ME?

I'm very handy! (i.e. I can build things.)

In addition to my non-profit experience of building infrastructure in the desert, I also worked at Home Depot (a home improvement store in the USA) for 6 years. There I learned how to install ceramic tile which allowed me to: remodel an entire bathroom, paint, and put furniture together from scratch.

📌 MISCELLANEOUS
I’m a quiet person. Most people tell me that I am grounded. Friends tell me that I am funny. I enjoy writing, reading, listening to podcasts. I write semi-often at Icing on the Cake: https://icingonthecake.substack.com/ (Zero pressure to read or subscribe, just sharing as an FYI).

When I'm not working, you will find me doing one of the following: hiking/walking outdoors to explore the surrounding area, reading a book, doing some research, or binging a Netflix show I just can't turn away from.

When I'm overstimulated I will crash I will need to retreat into silence or alone time to re-charge.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

With six years of work experience at a home improvement store I learned a lot about flooring installations - and other handy work. I also have experience building temporary homes in the desert, along with volunteering for Habitat for Humanity.

My other service work has been on large farms: almond, cabbage- and in manual movement of fermented soil

Note: I am allergic to hay, and can’t sleep or work in or around it too long without allergy medication, so let me know ahead of time so I can prepare

Autres infos...

I’m a true introvert, but quite sociable - so this just means, you may find me wandering to my room after the last meal to rest or write or read, which gives me energy. Sometimes I over communicate when I can’t tell if things are going well —-

  Régime alimentaire spécial
  I must not eat yogurt or cow milk. These hurt my body. Cow milk baked or cooked into something is not an issue - it’s more of I will not drink it or use it in cereals. But if it is inside of a pasta dish or cooked potatoes it is fine -
