About Me
I was born on June 17th, in San Francisco. My parents immigrated from Italy in the 50s, but the funny thing is, they met, and fell in love, here in America. My father came over at age 20, with his folks, and two younger brothers. He’s from a small town in Tuscany. When he arrived, he went right to work. First as a farm worker in Sacramento, later as a house painter. He gradually became accustomed to American life, but maintain his Italian roots, by becoming a member of the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club. That’s where he met mom.
My mother is the 6th child of a family of seven, from northern Italy. She to America to help my aunt raise her two children. Sadly, both my cousins died. Mama eventually returned to Italy. Because my aunt still needed her help raising her third child, mother returned to America. Mom started working as a waitress at the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club. The folks met, fell in love and got married. I eventually showed up.
I grew up in San Francisco’s Marina district where I went to catholic elementary school, Saint Vincent De Paul and a catholic, all girl high school, Presentation. For college went to San Francisco State University. I majored in Broadcast Electronic Communication Arts (Radio & TV).
Hobbies
I like to play tennis, volleyball, and go hiking, especially in Yosemite . In the past I have practiced karate (brown belt – Karate Do` Karate). I love to listen to big band and old time radio programs. I enjoy drawing and painting classes at the San Mateo Beresford Park and Recreation Center. I love classic movies, especially Jimmy Stewart films. My favorite movie is “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Jimmy Stewart is also myall time dream man.
I love hanging out with my two cats, Bea and Harry, my dog Rusty, my husband Lee, my stepson Ethan and my best girl friend Wendy. I volunteer for the Peninsula Humane Society in the kitten nursery, and doing doggie TLC.
Relevant Professional Experience
I have worked in several jobs where I have made updates to basic HTML and CSS pages. I worked for the College of Health and Human Services at SF State as a Web and Online Form coordinator, where I coordinated all web projects and consulted with departments to meet their web development needs. I also created and maintained college electronic forms and served as liaison between department coordinators and other university offices. During my time at AOL, I worked as a Developer on the AOL Calendar service team. I added new editorial content weekly, and participating in major Calendar releases. I was responsible for client-side coding, putting in place UI changes, and fixing various bugs with HTML.
I have taken classes in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, PowerPoint, and Excel. I have a bachelors degree in Radio and Television from San Francisco State. With my Masters degree in Instructional Technologies I am open to working as an instructional designer, user interface designer or trainer. I am most interested in designing instructional and technical manuals. Currently, I am employed as an Assistant Gift Processor and Data Integrity Coordinator for San Francisco State University.
