My background is in Public Relations, Marketing, and Magazine Publishing. In addition to studying journalism and media at Arizona State University, Scottsdale Community College, and Mesa Community College, I also gained valuable experience working at The Phoenician, a Forbes Five Star resort in Scottsdale, AZ in their Marketing & PR department. More than 100 of my articles have been published in local and regional print magazines over the past 20 years. I've held myriad positions from Associate Editor to Managing Editor to Media Manager, all of which required an exceptional eye for detail as well as a creative mind and the ability to multi-task efficiently and meet deadlines. My passion is creating and sharing visceral experiences through writing, photography, video, and mixed-media art. I am creative to the core but I am also a "left-brainer," driven by logic and order. Mindfulness is a priority in my daily life, so I practice yoga, tai chi, and qigong, in my Zen garden. I am an assistant instructor in Tai Chi, and hold a purple belt in Goju Shorei karate. Dogs are my earth angels; I have five.
