Education: BA in English, Literature and Art from Blackburn University

Biography: Recently retired to Panama. I remain an avid reader of all things written including fiction and nonfiction, prose and poetry, books and periodicals. I have a personal library with 1000’s of books. I keep a daily journal and love to write.

For the past 30 years I was self employed in fashion and the real estate industries. Fashion was my passion; however, economic reality required me to spend most of my career in real estate. I got my start in the real estate business buying and renovating old homes in an inner city historic district. My experiences selling the renovated homes evolved into a career in real estate sales concentrating on sales of high end residential homes. I became a specialist in sales development. I wrote and designed all of my sales promotion materials including a regular e mail newsletter that was sent of all current and former clients.

I also have been actively involved in the art communities where I lived and have collected art my entire life.
