I moved to New York in 2005 and prior to that lived my entire life in Oregon. In 1986, I earned a Bachelors degree from the University of Oregon with a major in psychology and a minor in marketing. At the point I decided to move to New York, I had been working at DMV for 18 years, while also buying and managing 11 rental properties. Since relocating to NY, because of my husband's career and the sale of my rentals, I have been afforded the luxury of no longer needing to work full time. Now I get to do the things I actually enjoy. I do like to stay busy and have been working part time in a retail setting for the past five years. I love creating displays and being involved in the community. The rest of my time is taken up with photography, computer design, home decorating, finding treasures at garage sales and chasing after our rescued boxer dog. I'm hoping that helping others create free websites will allow me to explore my passion for design and fill some of my free time.
