I was born in 1956 only 60 miles from where I now live. I am the oldest of 4 children, and I have always had an interest in arts and crafts, and it teams well with my interest in traveling and being a part of other cultures. I work for a large Catholic health care system in a division for Senior and Community Services, bringing technology to ministries that serve the poor and the vulerable in my community. Finding a way to connect people to one another is a passion of mine, and that creates a special affinity between me and Novica's work.
