Cheerful, curious, adventurous. Proud mother of a remarkable woman, auntie to 3 fabulous people, grand-aunt to my sisters 7 grandchildren.
3 careers and @100+ jobs (including fun projects for Apple, quokka and wired). Have been a research scientist, print editor and filmmaker. Now happily retired, I volunteer at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Herbst theatre, SF Symphony, SF MoMA and for the National Park Service. I was a healthy aging research participant at UCSF Neuroscience lab and am active on social media.
The most fun I have lately is riding my new electric bike UP hills. Best day of my week is when I take the early morning ferry to Alcatraz, where I help maintain the flower gardens on the island. Have been a volunteer at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for 22 years. I review films for movieclock.com and IMDb.com and take film history classes at USF.
I directed a local film festival for 3 years, judged a few film festivals, crewed or was background actor in a tv series and major films; wrote, produced, directed and/or edited independent films in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Reviewed the NY and Sundance film festivals for wired.com. Attended TED 2005.
Trained as a sea kayaking guide for handicapped and at risk youth, certified SCUBA diver, competitive swimmer. Danced onstage with the Grateful Dead, twice! Was at Woodstock in 1969.

I appreciate solitude, being still and really listening. Glad to be old. My primary job now is to maintain health and well-being.
