I was working for the Australian Red Cross but am just being a bum right now. I have a degree in geography from University of Colorado which has a huge science emphasis and so I was working on emergency evac planning for all of Western Australia. I'm back in Colorado now and am starting law school in a month on scholarship. I want to do water and natural resources law. In addition to all that I'm also a kids ski instructor. I work mostly with adaptive kiddos (cog/VI impairment like autism, Down's, etc. but also kiddos in chairs/ with mobility problems). I also teach one group of AB kids, they're 6 8 year old girls who are part of a local development program and we ski every weekend for the season. I love my kids and my job. I kind of have my eye out for running the adaptive program winter and summer at our mountain, a good friend of mine does it but got married last year, if she starts a family soon I hope I can step up to help!

I get to fish commercially for a living! We have fished for 40 years before my accident last fall and I really feared I could not get back on the water, but my husband said he could modify the boat for next season so next year I hope to be fishing.

I'm a project manager consultant for a software development company. I'm able to work full-time and am working three days a week at home and the rest of the time in the office. The days in the office are long because I have to pack lunch, wear business attire, drive to the office and then reverse the activities at the end of the day. I've worked up my stamina to manage it fine, though. In my spare time, I design ads for a dog magazine. Mostly for fun!
