About Me!
My work in professional consulting, small businesses, volunteering, education, advising, and creative projects have been fulfilling throughout my life! No two days have been the same. I am fortunate be on this journey with amazing people who have uplifted me in so many ways!
And More...
Mother and WIfe
Wife to a wonderful man and parent of three.
Educator
Graduate, undergraduate, and community college professor, homeschooling parent, owner of an elementary level Chinese School, founder of a private school for students grades six through twelve, over twenty years as a public / private school volunteer, create and run camps, teach and tutor individuals, train employees at corporations... and more!
Certified Employee Benefit Specialist
While living in Philadelphia, I was lucky enough to attend the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania for CEBS classes while working for a consulting firm specializing in the field of employee benefits and retirement.
I love my career and enjoy discussing topics ranging from pensions and Social Security to insurance and the future of healthcare and Medicare.
Comedian
As an original member of the Hysterical Housewives comedy group, my last public performance was in 2005 ~ now people laugh with me daily to meet my goal of making someone smile through humor every day!
In collaboration with a comedy partner, another show is in the works. Unfortunately, the best material comes in the shower, while driving, or when hands are unavailable to document the moment. This is going to take some time as it is a true work in progress.
I am designing a hands free joke app to help record my funny self and share it with other comedians!
Starting businesses and INVESTING in the world
Starting / selling businesses, learning about new opportunities, solving problems, investing, reading annual reports, and sharing knowledge through teaching is what flows through my brain! I love teaching entrepreneurs of any age how to start a business and bring their ideas to life!
Conversationalist
I have unique interests and knowledge of many topics. I love conversing about financial planning, options trading, investing, stocks, college admissions, weddings, succulents, business, fitness, books, back pain, migraines, travel, homeschooling kids, and life in general.
Volunteer
Helping where asked even if a little devilish in the annual elementary school costume parade!
extreme Volunteer
Mickey and Minnie arrived from Disneyland just in time for the elementary school Halloween parade! Families took photos afterward and it was especially meaningful since many have not been to Disneyland to meet these special characters!
It does gets very hot under those costumes and no talking either... It's all for the kids!
World Travel
Living in a beautiful area must also involve periodic escapes to realize how lucky I am to reside in my own unique paradise! I felt on top of the world in this photo from a trip to Nevis after riding a quad to a mountaintop!
EXPLORE and create art
I love to explore and create art. I have created some unique and silly art, as well as therapeutic art for professional offices. I took this photo of the Dali Museum roof in Figueres, Spain.
There's More?
Vegetarian
Lacto-ovo madness! I love eggs and cheese and soft milk chocolate chip cookies.
If you're cooking for me - I do not like: spicy food, peppers, olives, raw onions, mustard, shredded coconut, dark chocolate, curry, blue cheese, nuts in brownies, cottage cheese, raisins, peas, and taro.
Jump Right in
I am the person who can jump right in and handle projects, problems, and chaos!
Coach / friend
Sometimes people need specialized human help, I am here for that too while working on my own boundaries!
MY Purple Heart
I was awarded the "purple heart" from our local theatre for volunteering to ensure all of the actors looked like animals in the Lion King. It was an exciting, unexpected, and joyful time. I am grateful to another parent for sending me this picture as it is a reminder of the time and effort put in to make sure our community can experience theatre. Many of the children were from my past music, opera, and drama clubs and are now pursuing theatre in college!
