I'm a dynamic individual who takes great pride in the accomplishments I've achieved in my career and the skills I have acquired along the way. I am considered unique in that I am 'Right Brain and Left Brain'. I am diverse in my talents - artist, designer, photographer, published author, interior stylist as well as buyer, merchandiser, sourcing agent, public relations representative, business manager, and brand champion.  I thrive in positions in which I am challenged to use all my talents and experience at once.

Having such diverse talents has buoyed my entrepreneurial spirit and has led me to take on many innovative endeavors, both for myself and for my employers. I have a solid track record of 'creating a path where there is none' by building new product platforms that have provided significant revenue increases and sustainable bottom line growth. (Ask me how much, it's impressive!)

My keen business sense paired with my high product aesthetic has led me to challenge the status quo. I challenged business partners and vendors to develop new materials and proficiencies to bring exceptional product to market. I leverage my scholarly background in psychology, international business and design with my '18 years on the job' experience to create winning product and partnerships.

Lastly, but certainly not least, I am passionate about my career - building businesses, designing and developing product, marrying editorial tone and visual design to essence brand equity, exceeding consumer needs, and leading teams of like-minded team members. Possessing this inherent passion motivates me, and in turn, motivates others. (Contact me, you'll quickly see for yourself!)

And...should you be wondering...the photos on my welcome are photos I have taken to represent 'who I am'. Aside from being a consummate professional, I am quite personable. Most people identify me with my blonde hair, my love of dogs & dog-related causes, my playful crafts and my home-away-from-home, bella Italia.

Enjoy my site (that is still in progress so check back often), I look forward to hearing from you.
