I was born and raised in Southern California, specifically, El Centro and the Imperial Valley area. Now, I live in the outskirts of Alpine, California. My husband and I built a home and moved here four years ago. Before Alpine, I taught elementary school for 30 years and have been retired now since 2006. Now, I am a free lance web designer and graphic artist. I do also video and photo work. I am very active in our local Kiwanis club and it has really made me feel like part of this wonderful community.
