Summary

Creative and engaging, environmental instructor, working from an artist's training. I am conscientious, and inquisitive. I continue to engage in groups that are recreational, educational, service oriented and sometimes theatrical. I have worked in non profits and state, municipal and corporate environments. From my National Service experience in Ameri Corp, I developed an ability to use my networking skills and organizational talents to get things done in the community. While developing work sites and relationships I was both mentoring individuals and our community. I felt a strong commitment to making a historic landmark a learning experience, while working as a Maritime Heritage Specialist for the Hull Life Saving Museum.

I have developed a strong sense of pride, detail and presentation, as a special project assistant to the department of environmental services at University of Southern Maine. These ethics have been maintained while working in trades with boat builders, cabinet makers and masons. I have helped start up many community galleries and helped install shows in major museums.I have helped preserve National and State Parks and other public lands and historic landmarks. Recently celebrated a 1 year anniversary with De Bramble Art Gallery of Freeport Maine.
