Who am I?
I work for University of Florida Cooperative Extension in Osceola County as a natural resources educator. I love walks in the woods, learning new things (good thing with all this GIS, Adobe Illustrator opportunities, eh?), getting out on the water, cooking and EATING. I am a chocoholic but not yet in a 12 step program.
