Shaping her creative voice early on were storytellers who could evoke true emotion, a laugh and heartache in the same breath. Artists like Shel Silverstein, Patrick F. McManus, Steve Goodman, and most of all, John Prine, whom she’s loved for more than forty years.

Grounded in two decades of entrepreneurship and an enduring belief that reinvention is both an art and a discipline, her work continues to evolve with each new chapter. It invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover confidence, creativity, and connection. Not just in business, but in every part of life.
