I am extremely adventurous and a people person. I love to work with the public!

I have worked retail and helped people for over 20 years. My experience has taught me that no two people are alike so every interaction needs to be personalized to the person I am assisting. From the massage table to the bicycle industry, I have assisted from home health care to bicycle mechanic deliveries. I am outside most days of the week, either on the bike or on the water. Nothing slows me down!
