Humboldt County is my first home, although not my only home over my lifetime. As a child I attended many different schools in California, Mississippi, and Idaho. My current stay in Humboldt County began when I was in 6th grade. I am a graduate of Eureka High School, College of the Redwoods, and Humboldt State University. I hold a BA in Mathematics, a California Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Administrative Credential. And that's the bare bones of my formal education. I have a son, Dana, who is a past Professional Motocross Athlete, and now drives Monster Trucks, a daughter, Carli, who is a Kinesiology graduate from HSU, a son-in-law Jordan, who have finally blessed me with a granddaughter, Carmen. I like water sports, snow skiing (yes skis not a board), ATV riding, old movies, photography and experimental cooking. My husband, Skip, and I co-own Quality Body Works in Eureka. I have worked as a professional photographer since 1985, with interests as varied as large format black and white landscapes, portraiture, digital photography, and photojournalism for major media distribution both domestic and international.The list goes on, and most of it is incredibly boring. Basically I have a lot of fun, and I love what do. I have been teaching via distance learning using my own personal hybrid model of online and traditional brick-n-mortar classes since 2007 with Mattole. I love it. And now we have PacWest - for the new i-Generation. The students are great and the medium of education is amazing with everything that is available, especially now. Technology has come a long way. I’m glad we are where we are today!
