After high school...
After attending Film School at The University of Southern California, I returned to Orlando and worked at Channel 35 for several years. Then back to Los Angeles where I spent 10 years as a Publicist for Paramount Pictures ("Forrest Gump," "Indiana Jones," "Ghost," etc). In 1999, feeling a need to do something that could make a difference...I started my own Animal Care business where I teach classes, do rescue work and write children's books and magazine articles. I've been happily married to my husband Paul since 1990. We both love dogs and have been blessed with 7 fur children, including our now 13 years-young Haiku the Chikita (Chow-Akita). Other interests...IRL Racing, 60s Music and working in our yard. Dream of someday living on the Oregon Coast.
