Summary

I am a retired Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist/Publisher’s Representative who feels like I still have much to contribute to the work force. After enjoying a 20+ year career in the medical field, opportunities arose for me in the photography and graphic design/publishing fields, pursuits I had always enjoyed as a serious amateur. Having many interests and having been blessed with many talents, I decided to leave nursing to pursue these new challenges, which led me into a successful 20 year career in the publishing industry, which I retired from in 2017. I feel confident that my vast and varied work experience, along with my exceptional people skills and problem solving abilities, will combine to be exactly what you're looking for.
