About Me
an LA observer, some say living on a different planet. i luv LA, the concrete river, the urban grit, the endless diversity, the lofts, the nonprofit community...there's no place like home, there's no place like home... Working with Head Start, AmeriCorps, and Community Action agencies (among others), I have worked in the nonprofit world for almost two decades. I’m committed to innovative anti-poverty programming. I contribute in the administration of nonprofits by aligning missions with appropriate technology including building reports for nonprofit accounting and fundraising systems. My latest life challenge: finding the right life/work balance. What I need to remember: the constitution only guaranteed the right to pursue happiness, not happiness (smile)
