Places I've been

I went to college in Toronto, Canada, and would gladly live there again. I have traveled throughout Europe, parts of the Middle East, and to Central and South America. I hope to visit Asia and Australia eventually. My favorite places so far are Granada and San Sebastian, Spain; Florence, Italy; Machu Picchu, Peru (which we hiked to from Cuzco, along the Inca Trail); and Costa Rica.

More about me

I am an artist and an Occupational Therapist, with a small business devoted to each of these aspects of myself.

I design and make one-of-a-kind wearable art jewelry, which I sell under the name "OTIWA" (which stands for "Oh, That's Interesting! Wearable Art") at www.otiwa.com

Under the name "Vital Link Consulting", I provide case management and aging-in-place services to senior citizens, their families and their caregivers.
