About Eileen – from 11 months ago in February ’16
NOTE: I had a habit where I collected my old about me’s and bios and I think I want to start it again. This current one doesn’t reflect the present me. I’m a lot more of a go-getter, not as pessimistic, and I have a new position now (which I should write about here finally,…
