Juliana Richmond has always considered her career to be that of living a fulfilling, productive and happy life. Her working career as a medical assistant began during World War II when she found rewarding employment with an ophthalmologist. In the years that followed, during and after raising her family, she was "girl Friday" for thirteen years to a prominent surgeon in Los Gatos, California. She then went on to teach medical assisting, and finally closed her official work career at Kaiser Medical Clinic in Santa Clara, California. After retiring, Juliana began to explore her creative side, starting with watercolor painting but soon finding her truest self-expression in writing. Alternating the two hobbies, she has continued her love of art as well as her passion for reading and writing. In 2006 the National League of American Pen Women in both the art and letters categories nominated her for an Achiever award. In past years, she was active in many organizations. She taught Sunday school, was a PTA president, served art communities both in San Jose and Santa Clara, California as a docent and auxiliary president and finally she worked as an arbitrator for the San Jose Human Relations Commission. Juliana lives now in Los Gatos, California where she continues to lead an active life, full of loving companionship, family, friends, travels... and of course, dancing.
