I am originally from California, and lived in New York for several years, before moving to Georgia in 2005. While in New York, I co-owned a restaurant in Manhattan and studied interior design. After settling in Georgia, I progressed to teaching art classes in the private school sector, which led to the creation of my mobile canvas painting company. After selling my company and leaving my position at a school, I enjoyed a career as a reginal Community Engagement Specialist within senior living, before accepting my role with Livable Buckhead.
