I work through Disability Rights Oregon to provide representation to people subject to a guardianship/conservatorship or who have someone asking to be their guardian/conservator when the person or someone else objects to the appointment of the guardian/conservator. I cannot be hired directly, I work by court appointment.
I balance my work time with time spent dancing (swing and fusion), consuming just about any form of sci-fi and fantasy (reading, watching, gaming), skiing, and connecting with the people I love.
