About the Author
I am a promoting and publishing goddess! I love shining the light on super helpful people and teaching them how to promote themselves using relationship and multi-media Internet marketing. I also love the process of self-publishing and have helped many authors publish their books in just a few weeks at unbelievably low costs.
My ideal clients are authors, speakers, coaches and entrepreneurs - individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the world by doing what they love.
My professional background includes teaching high school English and graphic arts for six years. I also ran a side graphic design business from my basement for many years, and that’s when I began studying marketing. Today, GoodLife Media is a perfect combination of my passions and talents. Not too shabby:)
On a personal note, I’m a single mom to two fascinating people. My grown daughter now lives and plays in Seattle and my teenage son continues to live with me. He’ll be starting high school this fall. They are the reaso
I gave up my teaching career to pursue becoming an entrepreneur over 10 years ago - to be present for them and to decide how I wanted to spend my time. That was the best choice I’ve ever made.
