I am the epitome of bravery, having a great sense of self and enormous creativity to  leave the nine to five in order to move from  the country and begin a new life; all as I creep toward the age of 40.

I am a highly trained veterinary technician who recently left my position at the University of California to pursue an authentic life- and write about it. I have great travel plans in the future and am working on a book that will inspire other women to seek the life they are truly meant to live...while they still have a pulse.
