In my early twenties, I moved to Los Angeles, where I earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy from California State University. For the first part of my career I worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, and media relations specialist. Now I live in Minneapolis with my husband, a software developer, and our four daughters who range in age from nine to twenty-one.My Mission StatementIt's my goal to make tarot and astrology easy, fun, and comfortable for everyone -- whether I'm conducting a reading, teaching a class, or sharing what I know through my articles and books. I want to de-mystify the art of astrology and tarot, without taking away from their mystical appeal.CredentialsI am a member of the American Federation of Astrology, the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR), the Minnesota STARS chapter of NCGR, the International Academy of Astrology, the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR), and the Organization for Professional Astrology.
