I've been a part of my family's wedding business for over 25 years, starting as a typesetter and graphic designer in our printing company. I am responsible for creating all of the informational and educational materials our company makes available, and am also the designer/webmaster of our website (weddingcentre-wi.com).

I also do editing and formatting, as well as indexing work. I have taught linguistics at the university level.

I'm working on my doctorate in Linguistics, and my dissertation focuses on the Australian Aboriginal languages. My Master's project involved the nature of language as it is used in newsgroup discussions. I enjoy participating in figure skating (competitive) and outdoor activities.
