skills

print media
Spending two years at a top West Coast university and working in its library did a wonderful job of honing my research and writing skills in many genres. In addition, i have practical experience spanning more than ten years in writing, editing and layout of periodical and promotional materials. I began shooting concert photos in the late 01980s, did glamour portraits in the mid-01990s, and studied nature and art photography and digital image manipulation at Marylhurst University.

project/event coordination and promotion
Since working at the radio station at the University of Toledo in the mid-01980s, events and promotions have been two of my favorite activities, from managing bands to booking live music shows. Most recently coordinated numerous day-long education and service events through my AmeriCorps position. Helped produce an independent music showcase in Chicago in 01992, and organized voter awareness events for Rock the Vote in 01996. Planned theme parties at the Northshore in Bingen, and volunteered four consecutive years at the North by NW Music conference in Portland, OR. Also coordinated logistics for large groups staying at the Bingen School Inn.

outdoor/environmental
The bulk of my studies at Marylhurst University were environmentally oriented, and projects and presentations consistently related to Pacific Northwest issues. I am particularly interested in and have reported on watershed and forest ecology and restoration, wild and edible native plants and sustainable land use. A significant amount of time with the Northwest Service Academy was also spent researching and educating others on these topics. In addition, i have a lifetime of outdoor skills going back to the Girl Scouts beginning in the mid-01970s.

managerial
Since becoming co-music director of the radio station at the University of Toledo, i have often ended up in management positions of many sorts. Retail, bar/restaurant and lodging are three service fields since the late 01980s wherei have been responsible for day-to-day operations, supervision, product and supply ordering, scheduling, hiring and termination.

clerical/retail
Nearly fifteen years of experience in office procedure, data entry, money handling, bookkeeping, phones, merchandising and customer service provides skills applicable to nearly any type of work situation. Have worked in environments as varied as health food stores and an international hostel to numerous music stores and a Las Vegas casino.
