I live in Tempe, Arizona with my husband of 22 years and two sons, ages 21 and 19. I have a BS and MS in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M and worked for Exxon in Texas for 7 years before having my first child. After my boys were born, I became a dedicated stay-at-home mom. Once they were both in school, I split my time between volunteering at my sons’ schools and having part-time software support jobs.

My aunt convinced me to try scrapbooking in 1998 and I became instantly addicted. And then, when the first Craft Robo die cutters were released in the USA, I found an entirely NEW passion… digital die cutting. That grew even more after the Klic-N-Kuts were released and I was very honored to be hired by Accugraphic Sales, Inc to write the user manuals for the Klic-N-Kuts and ACS cutters.

I now sell the Klic-N-Kut and ACS machines on commission with Accugraphic Sales. I’ve also created a series of videos for KNK Studio, KNK Studio GE, ACS Design Studio, and Design Master. I plan to continue expanding the videos to cover more cutters and more software topics. I teach classes by phone / VNC to cutter owners everywhere and teach at KNK Retreats around the country several times a year. That’s another great passion I have… the love of teaching and helping others learn their cutters. Very satisfying.
