I grew up in Olinda Village. It was great.

Now I live in Goleta Old Town. Goleta and the people in Goleta are great too.

I know some really amazing people. 

My mom told me I could do anything.

My brother and my hero, tried to teach me to surf. That's when I learned my mom was wrong sometimes. 

My dad taught me to respect the environment, work hard, and volunteer in the community. 

I have been to the election polls for every election since I was 3. I've voted in every election since 18. 

Since the age of 6, I've always looked for ways to make money. I sold fruit door to door in my neighborhood. In elementary school, I loaned money and charged interest. 

I owned The Mail Box for 21 years. It's still an excellent store even though I'm not the owner anymore.

I started CopyRight Printing in 1996. It's a cool shop. We do a lot of things besides copying and printing. We even sell used books at our Tangible Book Store.

After retiring from Goleta Old Town, I continued to search for a way to help small businesses thrive. My team and I created ShopEveryTown, an app that rewards people for shopping locally.

Creating things is cool. Painting, crafting, writing, designing...I am the Producer of the feature film Salsipuedes Street for the not-for-profit Community Film Studio Santa Barbara. What an awesome experience! (You can even find me on IMDB!)

I come from a multi-generational family of teachers. I’ve taught and trained people of every age on a wide range of skills in my stores, film pre-production for Center for Lifelong Learning, and women’s group lessons at church.

I love my family, cats, and my dad's 1970 VW Bug that I still drive.

Oh, I dig my 1978 Buick Station Wagon. What a sweet ride. 

I go to church every Sunday with my mother. She's my best friend.

I am proud of my ancestors. They came on the Mayflower.

Did I say I love cats?

If you are into resumes, this is mine.
