Celeste's Story
I currently live in Seattle, WA! I moved here in 1992 after attending gradate school at University of Oregon. I love living in Seattle, it's beautiful in the summer and just fine when its cool in the winter. I've accomplished a lot professionally since 1992; establishing myself as a design leader in the technology field. My biggest contribution was working on Microsoft team that invented the Microsoft Intellimouse and the famous 'wheel' that is now an industry standard. I have also contributed to the experience of many websites all around the world and for many types of businesses and online communities.
After I graduated from St. Charles High School in 1980, I attended University of Northern Iowa playing women's basketball and earning a degree. I then lived in Texas for 5 years and moved to Eugene, Oregon to attend graduate school at University of Oregon. At Oregon, I learned human factors and product design principles and contributed to an understanding of how we work with computers and technology.

uns a horse ranch in Knoxville, TN. And, also my brothers, Clark, lives in Atlanta, GA, where's he's been an Atlanta Police Officer for almost 20 years. My brother, Daniel, moved here to Seattle this year so we could be closer to each other. I keep in touch with my cousins as well. My mother and father passed away the last few years.
I make a difference in my community as a member of Board of Directors for Technology Access Foundation; I also rescued animals in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I really learned full expression of courage in that experience and loved every minute of it. Touching people's lives continues to be the one area I'm constantly focused on.
I'm also an avid innovator and recently started a small consulting business focused on bringing solar power to consumer and making it fun!
I would love to see people from St. Charles High School Class of 1980 and from my college basketball days at University of Northern Iowa (1980-1984); that would be cool!
In my newest picture, posted January 2009, I'm in Cozumel scuba diving! That was the best!
Peace,
Celeste
