Writer ~ Eclectic Hoarder of Ideas ~ Migraineur ~ Productivity Junky ~ Research Nerd ~ 4th Gen Oregonian

My background is eclectic, which some find charming, others distressing :-)

I have been, in no particular order…

A dancer, a singer, a student, a research assistant, a program manager, a director of a dance and gymnastics academy, an actor, a front office manager of a medical office, a bookseller, a sales floor assistant, a delivery driver (I sucked at it), a writer of erotica, a costume character, a barista, a runner (not the running kind — more like this), a beta tester, a personal assistant, a customer service rep, a stagehand, a project manager, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, an awesome friend (to at least one person), a romantic partner, owned by cats, chickens, and the occastional arachnid or insect, and lastly a migraineur which apparently defines me more than any of the above.

My bylined articles focus on:

Migraines ~ Creativity ~ Storytelling ~ Productivity through the lens of Chronic Illness ~ Food Sensitivities ~ Gluten & Corn-free cooking ~ My New Mexico Adventure.
