I was born on the Makah Indian reservation in Neah Bay, Washington. My family moved from Neah Bay when I started school though we spent every summer there running our fishing marina. I had the best of both worlds, I spent summers in paradise, riding horses, fishing, swimming in the ocean and playing on the beach. The rest of the year, I spent in the city of Seattle with my family, going to movies, spending time with my friends and attending school. After graduating from Ingraham High School in Seattle I studied commercial art at the Art Institute of Seattle and Shoreline Community College. After college, I started working for the American Indian Heritage School. I was the registrar and athletic director and worked closely with students hosting and traveling to pow wows and other events. I had been working at American Indian Heritage School for seven years when I was asked to apply for a position on the Help Desk for Seattle Public Schools, which provided support to district employees with hardware, software and networking issues. I was soon teaching computer classes for district employees, on Student Information System software and a variety of applications. My background in art was the perfect lead-in to producing web sites. I loved the creativitiy. I helped to start the district's intranet and was soon teaching classes in web design and supporting departments and schools throughout the district to create and maintain their web sites. I now work with a variety of businesses , organizations and individuals to create and maintain their web presence. In my off-line hours, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping in Neah Bay with our two dogs as well as beading, reading and gardening.
