A typical day in my life includes…
waking up early and checking my Facebook and Instagram messages. I feed and play with my dog before going to work. When I get home, I work on my blog and practice playing my guitar. I also work on ideas for my next book and promoting my current books. I always play with my dog and read him a bedtime story.
I was born…
in Scottsdale, Arizona.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is the gorgeous weather.
I’m listening to…
Lady Gaga, “A Star is Born” soundtrack.
My family…
is the most important thing to me.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Lady Gaga. She has been an inspiration to me to follow my dreams and never let anyone stop you.
One thing I cannot live without…
is my rescue dog, Smokey.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a writer.
I’m inspired by…
Walt Disney because he never gave up on his dreams and was passionate about what he believed in.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom because she always encourages me to reach for the stars.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
to eliminate hatred. I always would like people accepted for who they are. It is the differences that make us unique.
The perfect day would be…
to go to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.
My first job was…
front office assistant.
My favorite escape…
Disneyland.
My life…
has been challenging and rewarding because I did not learn to read until high school. It was very frustrating. I did not let this define me and I kept on trying and never gave up.
I’m currently working on…
promoting my books, “The Adventures of Smokey” and “Snowball’s Winter Wonderland”. Proceeds from the sales of these books go to Foothills Animal Rescue, where I rescued my best friend, Smokey. My story about Smokey and I are in the national contest, Furever USA Road Tour which is spreading the word about the importance of rescue dogs and how they rescue us. I am passionate about this cause.
Always…
be true to yourself.
Never…
stop believing in yourself.
Favorite Quote…
“Anything is possible, even the impossible.” – Mary Poppins
Biggest Dream…
is to be a role model and let people know to never give up on their dreams no matter how many challenges they face.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
are rude people and people that don’t treat other people and animals with respect.
