Published author and content creator

Welcome | Thanks for stopping in!

I’ve had an exciting career in PR & marketing for more than 30 years, and I’m finally fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming an author and content writer.
 

I’ve published childrens’ picture books, coloring and activity books as well as journals for teens and adults. 

My vision is to support others on their own journey to self-care and self-love – helping you find true happiness and your passion. I also own The Spunky Skipper, a website dedicated to the young-spirited baby boomer + generation, with a mission to provide educational resources and interesting articles as we navigate our next chapter in life.
