Desiring to get away from small-town monotony, the path of her work history took many twists and turns from different statewide locations to various employment positions, such as legal secretary, early childhood teacher, customer service, and administrative positions in various fields. She obtained an associate’s degree in computer science just ahead of the economic downturn. Those experiences culminated in entering the field of hypnotherapy, where she gained insight and a deeper understanding of life, her own and other’s. She is now a practicing hypnotherapist and lives with her family in the southern part of the United States.ver menos
