I've lived a bit, and I'm very passionate about discovering new things. I was a registered nurse, a business owner, a public speaker, a college instructor, and a published author. My background has given me many tools which have helped me excel as a writer and realtor. With a master's degree in psychology and a bachelor's degree in business administration, my education and business skills make my writing unique, bringing a new perspective to our daily routines. I was awarded the Best Column: Feature or Criticism by the Arizona Newspaper Association. I have been a successful realtor for 24 years and serve the Phoenix and Prescott, AZ areas.
