About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet others, give a little som'n, receive a little som'n

ABOUT ME

I used to help coordinate an exchange program between CA and France. I love to travel... love languages, cultures, and people!!! I'm pretty easy going. I love trying new things, new foods, new places, etc... but nothing compares to just getting to know people. I am Administrator for a free mobile medical clinic (soon adding dental), and I do disaster planning as a consultant for medical and health projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Lake Tahoe for four years, and I thought there couldn't be such a beautiful place in the world, until I visited Lac Annecy in the Haute Savoie region of France. Incredible!!
