Hello All! I have finally finished (well, good enough for now) my website! I hope you take a few minutes to have a good look. I love her.
It was a really satisfying process to explore, refine and get clear on who I am professionally, what it is that I do, and how much I love this work. I will always be refining and adding, including the addition of a blog. This is my labor of love for those who are trying to find the right person to help them.
