I believe continuous education and sharing knowledge is key to thriving professionally and personally.  Simultaneous and diverse businesses helps keep me balanced and things in perspective, or it can be attributed to my self diagnosed A.D.D.

Happiest when I’m surrounded by positive people, I try to practice the ideals of paying it forward.  Having been a business owner for over half my life, I am finding my comfort zone in preferring to be a coach, mentor, listener and friend to my employees and colleagues, and hope I bring value to the table.

I am not only very proud of the teams I have built and the relationships cultivated over 3 decades as an entrepreneur, but am even more proud of being a mom to the two young men my husband and I have raised and am happily a grandmother to my beautiful granddaughter.
