My skills
Creative & self-reliant, cooking began at age nine and sewing came soon after. I've always enjoyed books & writing, so a career as a freelance writer was inevitable.
I'm a voracious traveler. A near 20 year stint as a flight attendant and another 15 with the Air Force, allowed me to see most of the world.
The former owner/manager of a 4-unit apt bldg. for nearly 10 years, provides a solid DIY foundation which I still learn and build from today.
