I am ready to work for YOU!
I am a very dedicated and hard working individual, just trying to pay the bills in these trying economic times. If anything, I have understated my skills and abilities, because I would much rather have you impressed than disappointed.
I know the value of truth, honesty and confidentiality. I will go to the ends of the earth to uphold any obligations that I have. Please give this hard working American girl a chance to earn a living!
{{Yes, my rates may be higher than many other Joomla providers here, but that is because I work efficiently and get twice as much done in half the time.}} I am really a BARGAIN!!

Elemental Web
Web Developer / Executive
Elemental Web is my own freelance web design firm. I originally started building websites for myself and others close to me. Eventually, people began hearing of my abilities even though I did not solicit any outside work. I have been approached several times for unsollicited contracts and commission work and have recently started trying to pick up additional projects to fill un my "not busy" time.

Darling Improvements
VP/ Operations / Executive
Co-owner, VP/ Operations and Remodeler for family owned Construction Remodeling Company.
I know this sounds completely unrelated; but managing, purchasing, scheduling and many other tasks are really not any different when you are talking about constructing houses and constructing websites.
This position also gave me superior insight as to what a business needs from a website. How can a developer give you what you want, if they have never participated in business or marketing before?
Also vast experience in architectural CAD.
Other Experience
Architectural CAD & Specs
Have done many CAD mock-ups for construction related projects.
Also minimal training as a Jr. Architectural drafter.
Code Compliance
Building related codes compliance for over 15 yrs.
Construction
Experience working in the construction market. New, remodel, disaster recovery and historical restoration.
Education
I am well versed in the genre of childhood education from a practical and design standpoint.
GIS
Mapping experience.
Non-Profit
I have worked with the non-profit sector on several occasions.
Real Estate
Experience working in/with the real estate market. New homes, land and forclosure properties.
Research
I have researched many, many different topics for many different applications.
Too Smart
For my own good.
