About Me
A look back at key milestones.Presently
I reside in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I’ve spent the majority of my life. My family and I were fortunate to live in Italy for 14 months—an experience that deeply enriched our lives and perspectives.
My two sons are now grown and pursuing creative careers. One is a former professional dancer who now serves as the Executive Director and Artistic Director of a modern dance company in Salt Lake City. The other is a professional actor and audiobook narrator.
I’m passionate about connecting with people, staying active, creating art, gardening, spending time with my dog Lucca, and exploring the world through travel.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via text or phone call with any questions. I’m here to support you in becoming the most extraordinary version of yourself.
