After graduating I attended Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland, OR, for one year. From 1981-84 I worked in Yakima at a group home for mentally handicapped children. In 1985 moved to Portland and continued to work with mentally & physically handicapped children and adults. In 1990, I became a CAN and began doing in-home care for the elderly. In 1999 I decided to return to school and have just completed my first year in the two-year graphic design program at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, OR. I have not married or had any children as of yet. It's taken me twenty years to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up!
