After finishing her education at California State University Northridge, appearing as Kathyrn Greer, she began a brief, story-inspiring career as an actor. She appeared in several commercials including Pepsi, and “also starring” in an ABC After School Special. As her desire to tell stories became more cemented she turned her imagination to writing.

Eclectic interests inspire her work, including achieving the rank of black belt in Tang Soo Do and lower belts in Krav Maga and Jiu-jitsu.

In her spare time, she can easily be found riding one of her three horses, chasing one of her six dogs, competing in three-day eventing, training her riding students or volunteering as a 4-H horse leader.
