After two years at Michigan State University and a degree in production art from Cooper School of Art in Cleveland, I worked in graphic arts for many years, was a bookseller at Borders Books and prior to joining Philanthropy Ohio, I was the adult programming coordinator at a local library.
Current city, and what you like about it?
North Olmsted, Ohio. The nearby Cleveland Metroparks are a treasure and I love being near Lake Erie.

I’m an avid reader, and I create artwork when the mood strikes. I binge watch numerous TV series and I’m currently trying to teach myself how to crochet and relearn the piano. I’m also a service human for two Siamese cats.
