I grew up in Calabasas and then went to UCSB for college and was a psychology major. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next, but was considering going into child psychology. I moved to San Diego and worked as a preschool teacher for 2 years and then moved into the non-profit world working for City for Hope for 2 years.

My sister and I always wanted to start a business and after a lot of research we decided to sign on with a franchise. We opened a Pinot's Palette, a paint and wine studio, in Westlake Village. This was such a great experience and taught me so much! Our studio became popular in the community for girls night out, date nights, parties and corporate events. Unfortunately our overhead was just too high and we had to make the tough decision of closing.

I just recently started working at a Medical Device company as a Senior Admin Assistant for the executive team.

I love learning and growing and I am always pushing myself to try new things. Things such as running a marathon, volunteering in another state, traveling on a work visa, etc.
