On a roll...: Work Life... Play Life

Life is about learning new things.

I love to learn. This page is dedicated to a wide variety of things I have done in my work and volunteer life. In my past experiences I have been a graphic designer, copywriter, content writer, photojournalist, journalist, editor, collaborator, event planner, fundraising consultant, choreographer, teacher, counselor, moderator and facilitator, the things you see on this page make up a vast and varied portfolio. They appear in reverse chronological order. (Newest to oldest)
