Hi, I’m Naya, in my 40s.

On this site, I’m writing about stories of failures and mistakes that we could all learn from.

In the meantime, I’ll just say something about where I’ve been, if you want to know.

I’ve worked as a supervisor in a large printing company;  taught at a center for Vietnamese, Cambodian and Lao refugees learning about English as a Second Language and about life in the U.S.; and operated a food kiosk business, where we lost a lot of money. I went back to the corporate world and worked in a data conversion and publishing firm for several years.

The recession battered this publishing firm, and I was laid off this 2009. Now, I’m writing for a client and blogging some of the time.
