When I went to college I wanted to be a probation officer, but when I got out of school I started out being a preschool teacher and now I am a legal advocate for a domestic violence shelter.

I have been a teacher, bartender, school administrator, professional photogrpher, conflict resolution/mediation trainer, and university administrator and yes I have a BA in Sociology. So much for saving the world!
