About Me, Personally
Photo: Self-portrait, in the garden, summer, '08
What energizes and inspires me?
- Learning. I value learning above all else. About anything and everything!
- Contribution. Giving back was instilled at a young age and continues to influence my decisions today. I feel pretty passionate about somehow making the world a better place.
- Collaboration and synergy. I like sharing information, coming up with creative ideas, brainstorming and discovering what makes people tick. I appreciate difference.
- Travel and community. I believe that thriving local communities have a big impact on our health and well-being. And I believe that travel - particularly international travel - helps to create cultural understanding, which is vital in today's world. And that these are completely interconnected.
A few more details:
- When I'm not working: I enjoy physical and outdoor activities, including rock climbing, hiking, sailing, running, beach walks, camping and gardening. Cooking and savoring good food, chocolate and coffee (preferably fair trade, shade grown, organic, but I'm not a purist...) are passions. Vintage fashion, particularly hats, continues to fascinate, and I absolutely adore my three crazy cats (Nightmare, Motormouth and Photon). Reading, writing and conversation belong here, too.
- What colleagues and friends about me: Mix wisdom and intelligence with just enough "street smarts." Add creativity with a keen eye for adventure and fun, along with a good dose of humor. Blend in compassion, integrity, and a willingness to listen.
