: About Me

I have lived on Long Island my whole life, except for the four years I attended SUNY Binghamton. Since college, I have earned a living as a head teller, a bookkeeper, an accounts payable supervisor, a project manager for a granite counter top vendor, an HR analyst, and now I'm in sales. I often say, only half joking, that I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.

I moonlight as a freelance web content writer, focusing on personal health and finance. I have a natural affinity for those subjects and read about them constantly, and I enjoy sharing the knowledge I accumulate with others.

I am addicted to the warm glow of the television, and I’m always happy to discuss the details of last night’s game or episode of pretty much anything.

Since I was a child, I have always loved to read everything. I read fiction, non-fiction, classics, magazines, newspapers, every story with a link on my homepage, cereal boxes, junk mail, etc. I often research subjects for myself and my family on the web. Most people are annoyed by having to read through a lot of junk to find the information that they are looking for, but I enjoy it. I often find that I learn about subjects I didn't even know existed while looking for something else.

My passion is ...

Learning. If I don't know about it, I want to!

I know too much about ...

Nothing. Not possible.

My parents always told me ...

There are children starving in Africa...

My favorite memory ...

Honestly, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning.

Why I write ...

It never occurred to me not to!

My first job ...

Receptionist at H&R Block

My best moment ...

Hopefully it hasn't happened yet.
