A typical day in my life includes… Waking up before dawn, taking a mile walk with my sweet 12-year-old rescue pup, Gabby, then I’m off to the gym for a CrossFit workout. I’m ready by 8 a.m. to be inspired for the rest of the day by my creative and resourceful clients.  

I was born… in Globe, Arizona. Third generation Arizonan.

My favorite thing about Arizona… all its diversity – landscape and cultures.

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… historic women who transcended gender roles to take a lead in making positive changes in their world. 

One thing I cannot live without… being only two steps away from hiking among nature.
