About Frankie

This is a work in progress page because what is there to say.

Much of my early years are well recorded on my archived blog.
(*trigger warning: content there contains detailed information about mental illness and abuse. Please read with caution if you do)

My more put-together information is as follows:

After years of a post-high school nomadic sporadic life working low wage "icky" jobs (stocking shelves in a porn store, selling Kirby vacuums door to door, that kind of stuff) I turned to higher education. I studied fine art in the early 2000s before moving to Canada, where I spent over a year studying nutrition at a university there before moving on to culinary arts. I graduated with honors from an accredited culinary arts program in the late 2000s, started a catering company and then closed that catering company to work with low income and homeless populations, before returning to the states. After a year or so back in the United States I returned to university to pick up where I left off, this time with a focus on communications instead of fine art. My communications studies, while broad, focused on social media and written communication. I graduated with honors on the deans list with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications in the late 2010s.

I had taken building construction in high school and worked for my father's construction company until I was old enough to work. I spent two years working at a building center, in the lumber department and then as a cashier. So I have some limited experience in that area. I recently decided to take up wood working again, so I'm brushing the dust from what skills I had.

I have a partial-certificate in Master Gardening from a local university, and grew up on a small sustainable family farm where we grew acres garden, canned and preserved our own food, and raised a variety of animals including goats, sheep, and horses. I was very active in 4-H mostly in the area of animal husbandry. These days I focus on growing some of my own fruits and vegetable, trying to get back into safe methods of food preservation, and raising cats I rescue.

I'm a prolific social media user and my brain is always on a tear.

I do not work in any of the fields I have education in. So that's fun.

Everything else you really need to know about me is already on the internet. All over. I created too much content over the last 10-15 years. And I continue to create.
What's a girl gonna do.
