I'm a gatherer of skills, people and experiences. My first business card had the subtitle of "Learning along the way" and that is the philosophy I have lived with welcoming new and different experiences into my toolbox of life ever since. I am a momtrepreneur as we are called these days and I am working on a lot of projects that overall focus on bringing people together to make the world a better place by supporting each other.
