Growing by Learning and Learning by Doing

About

ME

I am a Catalan American living in beautiful Bend, Oregon.

I am curious, skeptical, kind of a rational idealist (if that makes sense). I tend to push myself toward new goals and dreams. I believe new challenges drive learning, and learning is growth.

I exercise almost daily and travel whenever possible (37 visited countries so far, woohoo!). I love reading, writing, learning about new tech tools, and experimenting with photography and video, among other things. I prefer silence rather than noise.

Professionally, I am currently a medical librarian at St. Charles Health System and executive administrator at Camp Fire Central Oregon. I’m also a Qualified Health Care Interpreter and Translator.


THE BLOG

This blog is a place to help me think by writing. I can also use it to record what I’ve done, am doing, or plan to do. Maybe sometimes I will post some fun stuff, or I won’t.

As a general idea, don’t expect consistency or anything in particular. The topics can be professional or not. Only one thing is for sure: all opinions are my own and not the views of my employers.
