About me

Location	Oakland, CA, United States
Introduction	I'm a mom of 4, a long-time Arborist, and a wife to a man who can pretty much do everything I can’t. After 15 years of helping to grow an exciting, tech-driven tree care company, I took a step back from full-time leadership to consult, raise my kids, run our home daycare, and support my husband’s business. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I also started a side passion project: creating personalized, multicultural children’s books. (You can check them out here! YoungExplorersShop.etsy.com. I’m constantly learning what it means to build life around a career and passions I love, while striving to maintain a lively, peaceful & loving home. And of course, with lots gatherings, parties and community. Some things I record here as a way to capture the moments, process the lessons, and stay grateful for both the beautiful and the challenging parts of life. Thanks for reading!
