My fascination with the multigenerational challenges we all face in today’s society began while I was writing my first book, Planning for Tomorrow, Your Passport to a Confident Future. It was then that I began to understand why we have conflict in our homes, in our offices, and in everything we do throughout our days. That ‘AHA’ moment became one chapter in Planning for Tomorrow.

That one chapter eventually led to my fourth book, Every Generation Needs a New Revolution. She created a presentation on the same subject, which became a workshop, and the workshop has evolved into a workshop, Bickering-Backbiting-Clashing-Colliding - Just another Day at the Office!

As a working caregiver for over ten years, I had hands-on experience dealing with the many issues of the aging of America. Sharing my mother’s journey toward the end of her life, I learned about the challenges in finding products and services to make Mama's life easier, and how to navigate the maze through the geriatric healthcare system. This led to my second book, A Caregiver’s Journey, You Are Not Alone.

As a dynamic no-nonsense speaker, I get to the heart of the matter, using humor and my natural ability to relate to my audience. My presentations, workshops and seminars are high energy, high content, and high quality. I am comfortable with my audience and communicate my message(s) with ease.
