I am originally from Oklahoma, lived several years in Kansas City, MO, twenty years back East (New Jersey and New York City), then moved to California Wine Country nine years ago. Presently, I live in Napa and work three days a week for an artisanal olive oil producer located in the middle of Napa Valley. I have also been married, taught school, volunteered, and worked in the restaurant business as a waitress, hostess, owner/operator and general manager, then in a variety of capacities in the wine business. I have an older brother and sister-in-law in Oklahoma, nephews (and nieces-in-law) on both coasts, two grand-nephews in Seattle and a senile cat here in Napa. My first experience with Habitat was to Papua New Guinea two years ago - a real highlight of my life. My favorite things to do include travel, study the French language, attend concerts and theatre, garden and decorate my spot here in Napa. Most of all, I love to live life.
