CURRENT MISSION

To be the best I can be short of having to join the army! I prefer to conquer the world by dancing.

ABOUT ME

I am in international citizen. I believe in living my life to the fullest, taking advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves to meeting people, traveling, dancing, cultivating friendships, and following the golden rule.

I have had a number of jobs in my life, mother of 2 grown children (living in NYC and LA), banker, reservations manager for a Hawaiian tour operator, managing director for a small ballet company, systems analyst contractor for NASA, and volunteer for many years for various arts organizations, including opera, ballet, gymnastics clubs, art docent for elementary school

In my retirement, I dance quite intensively French style classical ballet and Argentine tango 4-6 times a week for both.

PHILOSOPHY

It's OK to get lost every once in awhile as long as you can learn from it.
