Patti's Story
College
I went to college three times: Saddleback CC off and on for a couple of years, Brooks College in Long Beach 1980-1982 where I got a degree in interior design. And then much later I went to the University of Washington (1995-1997) to get my BA in Anthropology (just for the love of it).
Recently I enrolled at Seattle Central Community College to get a certificate in Web Design/Development. So far, the clases are a blast!

Work
I've had the usual odd jobs, but for a career I did Interior Design for 22 years, which is long enough for any career (IMHO) - It took awhile to transition out of it, but I have been desi...Expand for more
gn-free for about 5 years now. The downside is I am back to the odd jobs - which is why I'm studying Web Design. In the meantime, to satisfy the creative urge, I have taken up writing fiction. I am currently finishing up the first of what can be a series of 3 books for the YA market. I'll be attending the Surrey International Writers Conference in October, where I will pitch the book to whomever will listen. Hopefully I'll walk away with an agent.
Travel
My favorite thing to do is to travel. I have been lucky enough to indulge this passion a bit. I've been to about half of our states, spent a bit of time both north and south of the border. I spent a summer in Japan quite awhile back. In the past fifteen years I have been to Fiji, Great Britain, & South Korea. My best trip by far was 5 weeks in India. I can't wait to go back.
