Hi. My name if Tina. I live in Missoula, Montana under "The Big Sky."

I'm a graduate of the University of Montana. BA from School of Journalism and a minor in political science. I'm a few credits away from having my music teaching degree, but don't intend on going back to school. I've written for several Montana newspapers and done some freelance writing for a couple magazines. But due to the fact that I have three children, I've spent the last twenty years teaching piano lessons out of my home.

I am needing to make more income. Working on a novel and a screenplay, but lack of inspiration has put both on the back burner - I'll get back to it soon enough.

I'm looking for a more practical approach in the meantime to bringing in some money to our household. My husband is the full time photographer for UM. He's been there 22 years. Everyone who is or thinks they are a photographer wants his job - even though it doesn't pay him what he deserves.

I've been here going on nine months now and have learned a lot. Need to up my learning curve and get on the main thoroughfare in order to make my wallet fatter. The people here are always eager to help and support.

The baby is my grandson Ellis - 18 months old. He's been walking and running since nine months old, he says some complete sentences and is the center of attention wherever he goes.
