: About Me

In all that I do as a wife, mother of 3 gorgeous children, business consultant, charitable worker, I strife to fulfill my mission: to create healthy environments for children, their parents and their communities.

I have studied both child development and business. In the I past owned and operated my own child care center, but two years ago I sold it. Now I work for the large company that bought my school, and I am a consultant to help other directors, teachers and administrators improve the way they serve children and families.

I also write because I love to share my interests with others. I think of the community of readers and writers on the Internet and especially on Helium as a powerful force that gives us all opportunities to become better and more brilliant every day. I hope you enjoy my Helium articles!
