Professional info
I love a challenge and constant change invigorates me. I am very social and love to be in a creative, busy environment. I need variable projects to keep me active so I usually have one or two projects on hand. I co-own a small import company where I tend to the marketing side, webpage and facebook. I also have a facebook page about alzheimers where I publish information connected to the disease.
Since 1994 I have taught various computer courses alongside other jobs - this has held me up to date in changes occurring as in Microsoft Office through the years. I am an avid PC user but I am also fully capable on a Mac. I love having versatile projects and a hectic day, working within a group or on my own.
