Greetings! I am here to expand my horizons--to connect to the amazing and diverse women who are a part of this community, to learn about their world, and to hear their stories. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and two cats. I have been involved with local animal welfare organizations for eight years. I have studied leadership, political science, communication media broadcasting, and history. I love writing! As the child of an American mother and a Romanian father, I spent much of my youth in Romania, but have not had the chance to go back. I am interested in expanding my knowledge, and learning more about communication and global issues. I would like to develop skills in the area of marketing, development, and communication.
