Bio

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Whether it's my personal life or we're talking about a career goal, I believe in "Dreaming BIG."  My family roots are from Hawaii but as an "Army brat," I traveled all over the world, as a kid. Germany was my favorite place to live. When my Dad retired from the military, my parents decided to settle down on the East Coast, NJ to be specific. I'm glad I was raised back East because it was fast paced and everyone there had a strong work ethic. Now, as an adult, my husband and I live in San Diego and we love it here! We run 2 companies that specialize in unique Team building activities & Curated, immersive tours. When I'm not working, I love spending time with family & friends, going on long walks, bike riding, seeing movies and exploring new restaurants. I also love my quiet time at home, spending time in our backyard and decorating our beach home.
