About Me
I have a degree in business from Santa Clara University. I work in HR Operations at Micro Focus plc. I am an active Toastmasters member. I ama past field tester for Parent Partners of Great Explorations in Math and Science, Lawrence Hall of Science at University of California, Berkeley. I enjoy author visits where I read my book, discuss the power of diversity, and lead fun-filled art projects for children to express their creativity. Patulous, The Different Caterpillar is my first children's book. I also enjoy gardening, volleyball, reading, and on-line pinochle.

March 2010, representing HP Hilltoppers, I placed first in Toastmasters Area contest with my inspirational message, "It's Our Choices.' I went on to compete in our division competition which was crazy good. The Google competitor came in first (I think it was his exemplary use of onomoatopoeias). I placed second, and the competitor from Stanford placed third.
