Autobiography: I had always enjoyed school. I don't think there was a subject that I disliked. As a young girl I enjoyed studying and homework, as well as painting, drawing and building things with my hands, video games, learning about computers with my grandfather, and sports.

As a youth, I was involved in Vollyball, Softball, Bowling and Karate. Later in College I took up Archery, Latin/Ballroom Dance, Photography, and Weight Training. My interests in College studies were all over the place; architecture, accounting, psychology and computer science.

Through my job as a high school tutor I developed a great skill... PATIENCE! That allowed me to land a job that demanded such a skill, an Instructional Aide with the local Adult School. In addition to be the Instuctional Aide, I was also the computer lab technician. With my college experience and job at the adult school, I honed in on my social skills; which today gives me a great edge on the competiton for my business. I get compliments all the time regarding my patience and great people skills. As a Web Designer I get to work with a multitude of professionals in all fields of business. It allows me to not only unleash my creativity, but also to be involved in learning about so many UNIQUE businesses and ideas. Meeting new people and making long-lasting connections is a beneficial art in my business.

One thing that most people do not know about me is that I am, for the most part, self-taught. If I don't yet know how to do something, I get a book, read about it and DO IT! It bothers me when I don't know how to do something that someone may ask for, so I make my best effort to master. As my grandfather always said "If you don't know how to do something, pick up a book, read about it and do it yourself! Don't let someone else do it for you!"

One of my hobbies currently is genealogy. In a short period of time I have connected all branches of my familly to unimaginable origins across the globe; this coming from a girl growing up who knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about her relatives, or where she came from. The only thing I knew was what I was told... which was hardly a thing... I knew that I was part Italian, Russian/Polish - wasn't sure which, and Icelandic. Today I know that my ancestors came from Iceland (but more importantly from Sweden, Denmark and Norway), England, France, Southern Italy, Poland, Slovaki & Hungary (a part now know as Serbia); most of which were families of nobility or royalty. What's amazing is that I found this out on my own. I tracked down my ancestors and found out WHO I AM. My research is still incomplete, but my fathers ancestral side of the research is pretty much completed (until I visit England and review some of their records that date back to the 1300's - once I find that info i'll be completely done). Also, Poland and Serbia do not have great records and most must be researched locally - again i'll have to travel. :) Apparently, I was born to "See the World"! And I intend to do so within the next few years!
