I am someone who has tried a lot of different things in life in a relatively short time. My interests are extremely varied and I LOVE to keep learning. Some of the things I know about include geology, nuclear medicine, MRI technology, the oil industry, the health care industry, cats, cichlid fish, arts and crafts, writing, tattoos, body piercing, books, collecting, and much more. My educational background is in geology and health care, but I’d love to share anything that I know that might be helpful to you.

Diploma, Nuclear Medicine Technology (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology)
Advanced Specialty Certificat, MRI Technology (British Columbia Institute of Technology)
CAMRT certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist and MRI Technologist
ARRT certified MRI Technologist

Hello! I am an average sort of person who has had a lot of different life experiences. I have worked as a petroleum geologist, a nuclear medicine technologist, an MRI technologist and a business development manager. I ride motorcycles and held both a private pilot’s license and a glider license. I have what my spouse calls “hobby of the week” – knitting, cross-stitching, oil painting, reading, writing…on and on. Although not an expert, I have tried a wide variety of things and would be happy to share my thoughts and opinions of any of them with you. I also happen to know quite a bit about tattoos. I am NOT a tattoo artist, but I have an extensive collection myself and can tell you anything you need to know about the experience. My last big claim to fame is that I am the one that my friends turn to when they have questions about their cats. Again, I am not a vet, but I am an unofficial “crazy cat lady” and have a LOT of experience with cats. Surely I have some bit of info you can use!
