Places I've been

When I was five years old my family moved to England because of my father's work. From England we moved to Italy, Germany and Holland in 7 short years. We returned to the US when I was in junior high but my experience in Europe made it difficult for me to fit back in. After graduating from Simsbury High School I went to music school and joined a band that kept me busy and occupied for many years. There were five of us. I sang and we also had piano, violin bass and guitar. All of the music was original. Perhaps some of you have heard of Jacob's Reunion or John Coster and the Medicine Band. IT was a great life until I had my first child and then I had to get a real job! I went back to college much later in life and earned a bachelors degree from Smith College. Since having a degree I have primarily worked at college's and now in a hospital as a development professional raising money.

More about me

I live in Greenfield MA and work as the Director of Development for a community hospital.  I love my work because it is really interesting and I get to meet great people. I am recently separated from a 21 year marriage and live with my 20 year old son. I lived in Europe growing up until I was 12 years old and it was a great experience. The advantages I gained make it easy for me to adapt to new situations and new people.
