About Me
I live in Los Angeles with my husband and teen son, our two-and-a-half cats, my two mini pigs, and a plethora of squirrels.
I love science, science fiction, fantasy, math, computers, technology, speculative fiction, pop culture, animals, conservation, and all things in these realms.
Professional Bio
I lead teams to produce engaging interactive products and experiences in a variety of media: games, web sites, mobile apps, expos, and live events. My passion is merging technology and storytelling to create immersive entertainment. I've worked for or with companies such as Disney, Hasbro, Acura, PlayStation, Toyota, Health Net, and more.
Current
Currently I am working as a Project Manager and Marketing Manager for a tech company that will soon disrupt the internet and all things identity. While I have many other projects going on, such as my math app and writing, I hope to retire from this company after we change the world.

Favorite Music
When writing or studying, I listen to epic movie scores, usually SF/F movies, but not limited to those.
When crafting, or when Im in a mood, I listen to hard pagan folk, like SKÁLD, Danheim, or maybe related music like The HU.
When driving, I like to sing, and I have a playlist of singable songs in my range (or close to it), ranging from the 90s to present, mostly alt rock.
For general enjoyment, including concerts, I listen to European metal, from Nightwish to Sabaton to Korpiklani.
