I'm posting pictures when I can as I'm having technical issues. I'm still working on regaining various parts of my life back after my medical issues in 2021, albeit in new forms.

I'm a lifelong resident of Skokie, Illinois, which is a suburb just north of Chicago. I'm a proud graduate of Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois. I majored in History and minored in music. After college, I worked at Ritz Camera in a couple of locations om the sales floor and the 1 hour photofinishing lab Working in the lab was fun. . I worked as a substitute teacher for the past 10 years in a few high school districts in my area. I also worked in social services with developmentally disabled adults who were inappropriately placed in nursing homes and worked my way up into management. I also worked activities in a nursing home.
