Bio




I'm a database and web designer, a traveler, a writer, a wife-and-mother. I've been around the world and to every teeny country in Europe. I spent a summer as a barmaid in a town in Alaska that has no roads leading to it. I spent another summer crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat with three misogynous Frenchmen. I've hiked the Himalayas and the Pyrennes, but I rode in the back of a pickup truck to Machu Picchu on a rainy night of the full moon. In November 2004 and again in August 2005, I went to Nepal to work, first entirely at my own expense and second through the generosity of our excellent donors, with Lumanti, a nonprofit that empowers the poor to work for themselves, to save, to keep from getting evicted, to educate their kids, and Community-Based Rehabilitation, a nonprofit that helps the disabled get jobs, compensatory devices and education so they can live dignified lives. Now on a trip around the world, I've worked with the Human Rights League of New Caledonia and Open Forum of Cambodia with web site issues. Every penny you contribute will help level the technological playing field in the third world.
