I am a 59 year old, single mom living in Western North Carolina. After spending most of my life in Upstate NY within 20 miles of where I grew up, I packed up in May of 2016 and made the 750 mile move. I did previously live in the Adirondacks for two years and in West Virginia for three. I am a seven time marathoner and 40+ time half marathoner. I am an avid reader and an artist working mostly with paper but in mixed media also. I love heading out to the woods and trails for a run, a hike or a photo walk with my Nikon. I have worked as a photographer, a development director, an office manager, a retail store manager but settled on the freelance life as being best until I moved to NC. Now I still freelance but I also work with two local Catholic churches.
