I've never subscribed to the mentality that we must do one thing only to do it well. My career path has been varied, life and spirit have been blessed, and challenges have been difficult, but thankfully few.

Born into a clever, creative family and modest upbringing by two teachers, starting in the beautiful state of Utah, but as a toddler moved to Central Valley, California, eventually moving to So Cal.

Studied business, fashion merchandising, art, and photography at community college, and received an Associate of Science and Dean's List in an accelerated program in Ventura, CA. 3.95 GPA

I worked as a programmer/analyst for 5 years before opting for at-home motherhood as my primary duty. Knowing my busy brain needed more stimulation than just cuddling, coos, and diaper changes, I returned to crafting and painting. I founded WEE TEES, a small mommy and me tee shirt (and children's decor) business. That blossomed into a few branches of professional craft/design/demo businesses, once we relocated to Orange County, CA. I've happily resided on the OC for over 25 years (sans my year-long adventure in Lima, Peru.)

Returned to the f/t workforce after getting my kids off to school and attending school myself for graphic design, marrying the love of art & design with my computer skills. Marketing seemed a natural path for me; it encompassed my passion for communications, creative ideas, teaching, and customer service. Along the path, I've gained valuable experience, both on staff and as a freelancer /consultant in many industries. Concentration on Real Estate, Home Improvement, Energy Efficiency, Health Wellness, Beauty, also Arts/Crafts, and Auto, obtaining a broad range of experience in various areas.
