Althea's Story
Life
I have 1 cat.
I love traveling! I have been all over the U.S. and Canada, mostly by car and train (I highly recommend taking the train to Seattle). I went to Germany in 1996 to visit relatives and made stops in Austria and France. In 1998, I took a study abroad trip to New Zealand and Australia. I would love to go back there.
I enjoy cooking and baking, playing golf, reading, spending time outside (fishing is a bonus), beading and jewelry-making, and relaxing at my cabin.
College
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in 1999 (yes, I pretty much made collage a career for 6 years), majoring in animal biology and communications. Part of that involved chasing wild wolves around northern Minnesota and doing research. I worked for the student newspaper, "The Fourth Estate" for 3 years; one of those years was spent as editor-in-chief. I was also a member o...Expand for more

Workplace
After graduating from UWGB, I went to work for an environmental grassroots organization as the communications director. I wrote a few articles for magazines. Then, I worked in the Northeastern Wisconsin Regional Office of the American Cancer Society.
For more than 3 years, I was editor of a crafts magazine called "Arts & Crafts" and developed a series of special interest publications. Currently, I am self-employed, consulting and doing research for the craft and hobby industries. My client base keeps growing and the work is always exciting! One of the bigger projects I have done is start up and edit an e-zine for a specialty paint manufacturer.
Whenever I have free time, and someone asks me very nicely, I arrange flowers for weddings and other special events.
