“Dawn on the Farm”
2005-2013
In 2005 I purchased a rural vandalized home in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee where I fixed & renovated the home to re-sell. I enjoyed the location so much that I decided to stay and because I love farming too I decided to build the home into a sustainable 1-acre farm. I operated a sustainable homestead for nearly 10 years, specialized in permaculture & no-nonsense growing & animal husbandry practices. I sold produce through CSA and the weekly farmer’s market, raised a variety of poultry including waterfowl, sat on the board for the local Farmer’s Market, and started an at-home victory garden movement called “Get Growing” Cocke County.

Remodeling – Tile Assistant – Carpentry & Custom Cabinets – Lumber Cutter – Painting & Drywall – General Labor
1994-1997
In 1994 while living in Northridge CA the earthquake and a need for gainful employment put me on the home remodeling track. I worked for a local GC throughout Los Angeles for 3 years. Mainly doing floor tile work in kitchens and bathrooms, installing doors, counters & cabinets, and plenty of drywall & painting commercial & residential. Framing came next and because I’m good with a saw and can transfer patterns and measure/cut reliably, I moved into custom cabinetry for homes and building shelving & organization for Grip trucks in Hollywood.
Deck Building – General Labor Assistance
As a child, I assisted my dad with all kinds of projects, because I was his tomboy. He also taught me to fish and play baseball but that’s another story for another day. During summers we built above ground swimming pools, swimming pool decks for ourselves and for clients of his. In my youth we also built two 4-car garages together, back then I could only haul a 2×4 at a time or a couple of shingles at a time up the ladder, but I did it proudly with dad.
