I started working for my father at the age of 13, recording the times and altitudes that his students logged while learning how to fly gliders at his Wonder Valley Soaring School.  From there, I was the snack bar girl at the local drive-in movie theatre progressing on to working in a Bay Area camera store and managing the photofinishing department.   After I opened my own custom photo lab, gallery, and frame shop in a small mountain town, the passion to drive my own destiny had taken hold.  As I moved from being a professional photographer to a real estate agent, I learned the one element that holds my life together and creates meaning is love and my work is that love made visible.
