Throughout my working life, I've been fortunate to be able to help people succeed at what is most important to them. As a Farm Advisor with the University of California, I coached children and adults through the 4-H program. Owning a retail shop, The Light Horse, provided me with an opportunity to educate horse owners and riders on what is needed to be the best in their sport. My passion for helping business owners began early in my retail career as I helped people launch horse related businesses. This morphed into working with start-up and ongoing businesses as a Small Business Coach. Financial Planning was a natural progression. I was so pleased to be able to join both my Small Business Coaching and Financial Planning skills when I became the Business Coach for the Garrett Planning Network. And, now that I have "retired" from financial planning and business coaching, it is with joy that I bring these skills as a staff member of the Garrett Planning Network as the Director of Member Development
