My main goal in life is to be a part of bringing health and happiness to other peoples lives. I love to create products and have developed a line of non-toxic cleaners and organic body care. They have had 15 years of commercial testing. I love to get the opportunity to teach "how to clean using non-toxic methods and products." I have taught in community schools and for Whole Foods in Seattle. Angel Scrub is now in Whole Foods, and many other stores in Washington and Oregon. We have just launched some new cleaners and plan to continue a full line. You can check it out on the website above, or purchase products at locations listed there.

My other passion is singing and teaching music. I have a music studio and teach all ages, piano and voice. I also get out and perform on occasion and am a song writer. My preferred genre of music is jazz and pop, with some country mixed in there. Although I do perform classical, gospel and rock. My teaching style is to gear lessons to the goals and learning style of the student. I love working with all levels and have a special niche in working with semi-pro to pro level musicians in the area of voice.

I am persuasive and fun loving. I have been told that I make people feel very relaxed around me. I work very hard and am a bit of a perfectionist. That can sometimes serve me and sometimes creates it's own set of problems. Overall, teaching is my strength, I love to teach and connect well with others.

To do a trade with someone, for some short video clips for youtube. I would like to put some cleaning tips on youtube, but the budget is very tight, and I don't own a video camera. I have thought of using my digital still camera with 7.2 pixels but am not sure the quality would work.

I have performed professioualy as a singer and musician.  I have also taught and directed children's choirs and have led several adult groups.  One of my earliest accomplishments is performing as the soloist for Americas Youth in Concert in 1980 (at age 17).  I have also sung the National Anthem for a Mariners game in the King Dome (sad that it is gone).    Teaching is one thing I love and I have also taught classes on how to clean your home non-toxicaly.  I have had my cleaning service since 1999, and have many great references.  The rates are very reasonable.
