I was a high school teacher for 10 years teaching English as a Second language. Now I work in real estate for Keller Williams in Corvallis, OR. I love to garden, go for walks, swim laps, play board games, listen to music, dance, spend time outdoors... I love Cuban Salsa and I also do a bit of ballroom and contra dancing. I am a member of the Sierra Club and do volunteer work for a local group - Civic Beautification and Urban Forestry. It is such a joy to be involved in tree planting projects and flower planting beautification projects in our university town.
Politically I lean towards the liberal side. I am in my mid 50's. I don't have children. I love animals but don't have any at this time so that I can travel more easily.
