| Introduction | After a decade in the software business at Microsoft, I've moved on to become an eco-mompreneur. Jules (my great pal and fellow mompreneur) and I are embarking upon an experiment...to create hip, vintage, high-style totally sustainable eco-chic kids clothing. I have two lovebug girls that i spend heaps of time with - Sienna & Tess. They are super yummy. My husband is my best friend and my soulmate - Jacques - a quirky funny loving frenchman from Paris. i live in the wine country in northern california and am surrounded by veggie gardens, orchards, vineyards, animals, love, family, friends and abundant life. I believe in peace, love, compassion, family and nurturing the environment and all living things - while having fun, learning, growing, laughing & experiencing a life filled with joy. I hold an MBA from UCLA with an International Management Fellowship,and a BA from University of Washington. I am a Fellow of the Leadership Institute for the Ecology & the Economy, and I sit on the boards of the Institute for Environmental Entrepreneurship (which created the GreenMBA program at Dominican University) and the Windsor Educational Foundation. |
| Interests | living sustainably, hanging with my kids, enjoying life, skiing, hiking, camping, cooking, exercising, loving friends & family |
| Favorite Music | have been loving lots of french music at the moment - especially camille and a few others like Nouvelle Vague & Karen Ann. Lilly Allen is playful and fun too, also love michael franti, jacques (my husband), funky global mixes, ethnic vibes, radio station NOVA in paris..basically a totally eclectic, funky, surprising, beautiful set of artists! |
| Favorite Books | I just read What is the What which is an incredible novel on the plight of children in the Southern Sudan. I like a mix of fiction and non-fiction, depending on what I need at the moment. Also love autobiographies like Nelson Mandella's. Another incredibly moving and painful book to read is Long Way Home - a boy soldier's true story of his journey in Sierra Leone. |
