I am a free-lance web researcher, film/tv/theatre extra, virtual office assistant, and aspiring epicure developing food seasonings and tea blends.

    Before that, I worked for the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Baltimore Sun, and the Annapolis Capital. At both papers I was an editorial assistant and freelance contributor. Finally, I was the editor of "Inside SAHE," a monthly newsletter for an Annapolis-based section of the Sierra Club. There I combined both hard copy and Internet resources to publish material related to forest resources, water and air quality, and activism.

    Reasonably computer literate, I have studied and worked with software for both Macintosh and Windows, such as Netscape, Microsoft Word, and Publisher.  Presently I use a Gateway computer running Windows.
