The California Bay Area has been my home since 1983, most recently the East Bay. I was a legal analyst and paralegal for several years before entering a doctoral program in organizational psychology, receiving my PhD in 2018. I also drove ride share to support my family while I was in school so I know my around the greater Bay Area, from Modesto to Napa and San Francisco to Vallejo. I like the Bay Area people, the climate and the chance to have an independent business with time flexibility since I am married with two adult children. I'm also active in the Society for Organizational Psychology and the International Ombudsman Association and do mentoring with a few nonprofit agencies. Although they have had their rough patches, I am one of the 49er Faithful going back mega years.
