About Me

I am a mother of 6, grandmother of 14 and great grandmother of 2. I love the ocean and music but I'm not sure which more. I have a beautiful family, home and garden with a little river that runs through our land. My partner and I have been together 10 yrs. and enjoy traveling together. I love to explore, hike and swim. I am an independent contractor that manages Youth Radio on KEPW PeaceWorks Community Radio along with many hours volunteering as the operations co-coordinator. I care about my planet and try to support my community through helping others have a voice about the many things that matter to them. Including improving our health, wellness and respect for each other and the world we live in.
