Under the tutelage of John Henley, I learned the basics of the antiquarian book and publishing businesses. In my position as assistant office manager, I honed my computer and professional communication skills.
(Performing Arts industry)
1991 — 1995 (4 years )
Unlike most regional theatres, Theatre on the Park was run as a teaching business, without corporate sponsorship or Board of Directors.
Hundreds of artists, actors, playwrights, set designers, musicians, and staff were hired; regardless of race, experience, or disability; giving many a first time opportunity to present their work to the public.

My life experience includes many years experience with all aspects of the entertainment business in the US and Europe.
In London. I worked as Personal Assistant to Stephen MacCormack, BBC and independant film producer; and collaborated with scriptwriter Roger McDougall on a cookbook for Multiple Sclerotics.
As a writer and performer, I have a long list of credentials and awards from around the country and Canada. Hospital Audiences Inc, in NYC, sent me to mental health, group home, retirement facilities as a performance therapist. Hired by the State of Oregon, I created workshop and private session classes for at-risk youth and members of the Transgender community. I designed industrial shows for VTech, Gannett and Columbia Sportswear, which included original songs built around product lines.
