About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Africa

ABOUT ME

Geographical Mutt: Born in Wisconsin, raised in North Carolina. Happy gypsy type gettoing restless about every 3 and a half years and usually move on to new location, new job or both. Very comfortable in unknown territory. Tomboy and quirky alone from birth.
I love kids and animals and they seem to like me back...

PHILOSOPHY

Smile sincerely as much as possible and stay in the moment. I love to eat well, think a band is for dancing to and leave a place in better shape than when i got there.

Interests

Wild places...being a field ecologist in the western U.S. for 5 years has me longing to see the rest the planet has to offer. so far I've explored Australia (definately not the touristy bits), sailed the Sea of Cortez, now it's off to Saziland and the southern part of Africa. My childhhod dream.
I've finished one book about my ranger adventures "Confessions of a Federal Government Cowgirl" still looking for a publisher. Next one could be "Wrangling Rhinos"...after using the linear side of my brain for so long the creative side is now getting quite a workout.
