About
I have had three passions in my life:
- - people fascinate me – who they are and what makes them tick;
- - the desire to help others;
- - personal spiritual development.
In college, I received a BA in Sociology with a minor concentration in Psychology. My main areas of study were in Human Resources and Industrial Relations. My professional career centered in the service industry, with the largest portion spent as an independent life insurance agent and later, a Claim Specialist with State Farm Insurance Company for 19 years.
In my family, I was the caregiver. I helped my mother, who became wheelchair bound due to polio when I was a year old, throughout the rest of her life and took care of my grandmother and father during their ailing years until they passed. I was their POA or Legal Guardian and handled their estates thereafter.
For me, personally, I have devoted much time to my spiritual development, training, taking classes and learning much over the years. As a result, I am certified as a Metaphysician and Healing Practitioner and am also an Intuitive Reader.
Over the last 10 years, I have searched to find a profession that could combine my passions with my extensive professional and personal life experiences.
This is how I have discovered my fourth passion in life!
I have become a Business and Spiritual Coach and Mentor. It allows me to use my unique perspective, along with my experience and training to help others achieve whatever it is they want for themselves both personally and professionally.

As for my hobbies and other interests, I am a sci-fi buff and Star Trek fan and have been a member of several fan clubs and have attended, and help run, numerous conventions. My preferred recreational reading ia a sci-fi or fantasy themed book. I also enjoy music, singing, dancing, being in nature to observe its beauty and diversity and playing online games at Pogo.com.
