Chicago area native. Colorado State University graduate (BS, Biology 1976). Pharmaceutical clinical research and data management x 18 years.
California resident since 1986. Mommy sabbatical 1994-2005.
Retired 2016, retail shop owner (specialty teas, collectibles, gifts).
Docent at Calaveras Big Trees State Park, 2018-2020. In retirement I have returned to my interests and love of the out-of-doors and natural sciences.
CA Naturalist Course Graduate, June 2019.
Moved to Washington (Kitsap Peninsula) in February 2022. Continue to "find my way around" to discover so much natural beauty this state offers. In time, plan to get involved with a State Park docent program.
Have enjoyed watercolor painting over the years, but never gave myself much time to become comfortably proficient. Nature journaling is a new practice for me and I'm enjoying this creative outlet that speaks to the "scientist" in me.
