About Me:
I am a Raleigh native and live in Cary with my teenage son, our black lab and our 17 year old cat that rules the house. We spend a lot of time at Carolina Beach visiting friends whenever we feel like traveling. I enjoy cooking, reading, swimming , Pilates and learning the stock market. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family.

I retired from the clinical laboratory after 34 years and moved back home from Goldsboro. During that time, I published numerous articles on biochemistry research and quality assurance in national scientific journals and local newspapers as well as conducting a workshop at a national laboratory conference in 2004 on quality assurance. I served as the Health Department Record Audit and Safety Chairperson in addition to supervising the medical laboratory. The Health Department gained recognition from the NC Department of Labor as the first Health Department in NC to receive the NC Public Sector Star for safety in the workplace in 2008. My extensive laboratory background in the Wake Medical Center Chemistry Lab-Raleigh, NCSU Biochemistry Lab-Raleigh and Wayne County Health Department Lab-Goldsboro, provided me the ability to advise and evaluate Arbonne products for each client's needs. I started an Arbonne home based business to have a flexible schedule and enjoy life to the fullest!
