About Me

Ever since I was a little girl I have had a passion for fashion!! I went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, CA. While I was in school I was a stylist for Ralph Lauren on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. I worked with a lot of celebrities including Tom Cruise, Jessica Simpson & Beyonce. I loved my time and experiences in L.A. but decided to move home to Arizona when my dad was diagnosed with cancer.When I got back to Scottsdale I started a career with Neiman Marcus. I began on the sales floor and worked my way up with the company fast! First I was promoted to the Assistant Manager/Coordinator of Couture and then to the Public Relations Coordinator. I was with the company for 4 years and got to plan and be a part of a lot of amazing events, it was GREAT!On April 14, 2006 my dad's cancer caught up with him and he passed away. That day changed me forever! I started thinking about my career and realized that it was no longer the right path for me. As much as I loved the glamour and glitz of the fashion industry, I realized that life is too short, and that I wanted to make a difference. That's when I decided to go to work in the non-profit industry. I now work for the American Cancer Society doing fundraising and I LOVE IT! It is the most rewarding job I have ever had and I truly feel that I am making a difference EVERYDAY!

Trip to Carlsbad to spread Dad’s ashes.

On the year anniversary of my Dad's passing, my sisters along with my Dad’s widow (JoAnne) and 2 of my nieces (Raegan & Lauren) took a trip to Carlsbad, CA to honor my Dad, spread his ashes and have a celebration of his life. Every year while growing up my Dad would take us on vacation to the exact same spot in Carlsbad. It was his vary favorite place to go, relax and spend time with his girls. Now it's his final resting place.
