I honed my listening and organizational skills in my college courses and early career. As most things do early in life, career paths change, and I found myself working as a typist and receptionist in a life insurance brokerage...

Living in Michigan, nature presents itself in many forms such as sledding as fast as you can down the hill or swimming in one...
