I grew up in the Bay Area, CA with my German mother and Scottish-Irish father. After receiving a BA in Communication Studies from SJSU, Summa Cum Laude, my PR and corporate marketing career took me from high-tech Silicon Valley to PR agencies in NYC, managing major campaigns for fortune 100 companies. In the last 15 years, I dedicated myself to marketing consulting in a field I loved: health and wellness. I obtained certification in Advanced Hypnotherapy at the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy with special certifications in intuition. My entrepreneurial thirst was also quenched in retail, nutraceuticals, and real estate businesses. Although my path seemed to wind in every direction, I now realize the diverse experiences have helped me pursue my passion for writing and complete “Mind Masters,” my first novel.
