Professional Experience
I am a well-rounded, adventure-seeking individual with experience in many different fields. I run my own small advertising agency including copy and scriptwriting to production and promotions. I am a licensed Retirement Coach, and an expert on financial aid. I am also experienced in real estate investing and rehabbing.
I currently have a small publishing company, and our current project is about the many ways to find yourself in a sexual harassment situation at work and how to avoid them.
I am the mother of two small kids and I am well versed in the juggling act of handling it all. I am a passionate traveler and have even lived in Paris and Heidelberg. As a firmly rooted Southern California-to-Texas transplant, I'm a San Antonio resident familiar with the Hill Country area and active in the local community.
I enjoy cooking, landscaping, sports and any type of travel. I love talking to people and hearing their stories.

Other Work History
I am one of those people who has never held just one job. I've run advertising agencies handling all aspects of campaign design and implementation, copy and script writing, media planning and buying along with major promotional events planning and PR. I also had a four-year stint as an advertising sales representative at a local San Antonio Rock station.
I am currently a Retirement Coach with myretirmentcoach.com, helping people meet their retirement goals with education and planning. I am also a speaker/presenter for the Making It Count organization. I talk to parents on the topics of College Financial Planning and the ROTC Opportunity.
I have also done everything from slinging bratwurst and beer during Oktoberfest at a German restaurant, to network marketing, to being a French instructor for adult education classes. I also hold the distinction of being among the first cast members at Euro Disney in Paris from 1992-1993.
