I am a mother of an active eight year boy.  I was fortunate to have stayed at home with him for the first few years of his life. The time allowed me to reflect, to think and decide what I wanted to do with the second half of my life. It was at this time that I came up with my Water-Saving Colander/Bowl Set.  I have been granted a provisional patent and hope to acquire a non-provisional patent in 2012.  It is a long process!

Originally from Garden City, New York, I have lived and worked in San Francisco, Paris, London, Washington D.C., and in July of 2010, my family relocated to San Jose, CA.

I hold an undergraduate degree from the College of Mt. St. Vincent and a graduate degree from New York University. I have also studied at the American University in Paris, Parsons School of Design, in Paris, Institut de Langue Française and Sorbonne University – Paris III. 

I started my career in television, but in recent years I have taught ESL and have been a teacher's assistant in an elementary school.  My work experience has been quite varied and I am thankful that I have been able to try different jobs - I like the challenge that a new position brings.

I have absolutely loved the research, writing, development, contacts – the list goes on – which my product has brought me. What a wonderful journey of discovery!

Thanks go to Chris, my husband, for his continued support and to Thomas, my son, who tells me he hopes to see the Colander/Bowl Set in a store so he can buy it.
