Before moving to the California Bay Area I traveled all over the world. I've seen a lot of different countries and been part of a diverse set of cultures as well. Living in Mill Valley and working in Silicon Valley gives me a broad perspective each day. Within an hour driving you can stroll along the beach, sail the bay, hike to the top of Mount Tamalpias or Mount Diablo, or visit the San Francisco museums.
Diversity is the keyword.
My career has evolved from bedside and E.R. nurse through nurse supervisor to my present position as Director of Quality Management, Registration, Infection Control, and Risk Management at the local hospital. I enjoy traveling around the country to see new places and meet new people - I rarely find anyone I don't like. This computer thing is a part of my social life. I've met people online and had better conversations than some in real life. There isn't that much difference except that hugs and handshakes take some imagination.
