I hail from the evergreen state of Washington and embarked on a journey that took me from the Advertising Arts College in San Diego to the vibrant streets of New York City. In the early 2000s, I delved into public relations, where my clientele included industry heavyweights like Philip Morris, as I lent my expertise to their groundbreaking international 'No Smoking Section' Campaign.

Throughout my exhilarating career, I've traversed diverse industries, from BioTech to the pioneering legal cannabis sector. I had the privilege of being part of the very first cannabis store to be awarded a recreational license in 2018. I continued to make significant contributions by opening two more stores and securing another coveted license in California.

In 2015, I added life coaching to my ever-evolving skill set, aiding individuals to find their 'North Star.'

Beyond my professional commitments, I devote my time to two non-profit organizations. One of these is a mother-and-daughter philanthropy endeavor, where we passionately volunteer for local organizations, making a meaningful impact in our community. I proudly share this journey with my two exceptional teenage daughters.

In my downtime, I find solace in traveling, losing myself in the pages of captivating books, indulging my creative side, embarking on leisurely walks with my cherished best friend, and cherishing moments with my beloved family. And not to forget showering my poodle, Ginger, with love and affection.
