My name is Alicia Bennett (this is also a first time to blog). I was born and raised in the USA. I lived in upstate NY approx 1.5 hours from NYC in a small town that is now referred to as the northern suburbs as the city continues to sprawl outwards.
I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a focus on 'Time Based Media'. I have a solid background in graphic design and worked in that field on and off for 10 years as it's hard to find work in that field. I had to find other ways to supplement my income so I worked as a substitute teacher in my home school district for a couple years during the day and in an acquired brain injury facility for almost 4 years at night. Needless to say I was exhausted and decided to travel....hence, bringing me to Australia over 9 years ago the first time. I met and married my Australian husband and have since started a family last year. I enrolled in the LMPM course as I was bored in my current career and wanted to get a 'real' job. I have always loved school and learning...I really don't know any different and can't imagine not being at a school.
At the present time we are planning to live here for the short term...but are flexible as to where we actually put down roots. I would love to move back 'home' within 5-10 years but really have to go where the jobs are.

So that's me in a nutshell!
