This drive propelled me into the realm of animal training and handling at the tender age of nine, where I particularly excelled in canine companionship. Concurrently, I immersed myself in the realm of creative and performing arts, basking in the spotlight both in front and off of the camera and theater.

    1. Skippy - the sprightly 13-year-old Jack Russell/Beagle mix

    2. Gir - our 10-year-old Beagle/Basset Hound mix with a personality to match

    3. Jack - the youngest at 4-years old, our lovable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

  • The tapestry of my professional life is rich and varied, with threads woven through various leading roles in both the public and private sectors. My passion for my craft extends beyond the confines of my job, manifesting in voluntary freelance hours dedicated to supporting small and medium businesses. Whether working from the comfort of my home, on-site, or traversing the globe, I pride myself on maintaining a delicate balance across a myriad of projects. My commitment to providing unwavering support to my clients and business stakeholders is unwavering.
