I grew up in Northern California, and moved to Southern California after high school where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from California Polytechnic University. After obtaining my degree, I lived in Lake Tahoe where I worked as a flight attendant and enjoyed snow skiing, snow shoeing, water skiing, volleyball, kayaking, mountain biking, camping, and in line skating. My background is in sales and marketing and I worked for many years with high school reform initiatives and developing resources and relationships between communities and schools in both the Sacramento and North Lake Tahoe communities. Now I live in the foothills of Northern California with my wonderful husband and three beautiful, healthy children. I currently work with my local school district and county with First 5 to promote good health and literacy for families with children ages 0-5 in my community.

I had the horrible experience of losing a brother (my only sibling) which led me down the journey of writing a book for children who have experienced loss. I discovered whenever I met someone who had suffered a similar loss, there seemed to be an instant connection to that person as if they understood how I felt inside. I wanted to create a personal book children could have that made them feel understood. I created this spiritually healing book to be personalized by the parent or caregiver of the child no matter what ethnicity or gender.
