I am a woman of many identities. Some might say too many.
But there's lots more that I do—public speaking at a variety of conferences and meetings; freelancing as a field agent for Atlas Obscura, ghostwriter, proofreader, copyeditor, paralegal, leasing agent, building manager; volunteering on the board of the Los Angeles City Historical Society; and participating as a member or former member of The Los Angeles Breakfast Club, Friends of Rockhaven, LA Conservancy, Art Deco Society of Los Angeles, and Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley.
