For many years I ran a design firm and was a professor of design and art history. For the past twelve years, I've been the District Fine Arts Coordinator for a large school district, managing a staff of 45 art teachers in 31 schools, writing K-12 curriculum, managing professional development and departmental budgets and resources. I also still teach AP Studio, art history, and art ed methodology at the university.

Business analyst that manages the electronic health record software and practice management for the health and counseling services at a private university. I like the job but would rather be riding.

I teach Pilates at a wonderful studio in Huntington Beach, and spinning classes and senior fitness classes at a gym near-by. Lucky for me I have other sources of income!
