I’ve had a very eclectic life — Burger flipper, Greenhouse Worker, Retail Clerk, Receiving-dock Worker, Waitress, Actress, Job-coach, Zoo Curator, Story Teller, Poet, Exhibit Designer, Writer, Farmer, Farmers Market Manager, and Educator. I capitalized on purpose, as many of these jobs deserve more respect than they receive.

Writing for me is as essential as breathing. My first book, bound and published by my father, was written at age four, Nit Whits Run with Scissors. You can find my second book on amazon e-books for children, When Water Danced. (Look for “Dr. C”) On Medium.com I write stories, poems, and essays based on all my eclectic experiences.

I’ve published 271 pieces as of 8/23 on Medium.com. I set a goal for 2023- upgrade from Medium to Amazon Kindle. So many books in the pipeline-time to open the spigot and let them flow! I better get busy on this goal- only 4 months to go.

Here are some examples of my articles that have done well.
