She specialized in copy-writing, marketing and promotion as well as event coordinating. During that time she worked on major events that took massive amounts of coordinating. The largest event she coordinated was a 12k race, which at the time was the second largest 12k race in US and had over 12,000 participants and 400 volunteers. She was responsible for a major part of the planning and overseeing all the details. Also during her career she has worked in and around hundreds of non-profit foundations, who were all doing work to improve their local communities. As a result she has a keen sense of community building and a rare ability to put most people at ease to ensure that projects and events flow smoothly and successfully.

 

Later in her career she learned how to build websites for holistic health practitioners which was more in alignment with her real love and passion for alternative health and wellness. Subsequently, she became involved with a non-profit foundation on the East Coast where she worked for six years as a project coordinator, a volunteer, and a community builder by creating events to help clients connect through their similar interests, their common values and their love of connecting to like-minded people. Today she has her own business and is a spiritual life coach helping individuals sort through and resolve personal issues in their lives.
