​Landscaping and children began at the same time, landing in Greenwich from the Midwest.  Our family-run landscaping business focus was design, installation, renovation.  My career took a major turn into the corporate world where I designed/managed global business travel programs for companies like Gartner, Estee Lauder, the United Nations and Princeton University - all the while continuing to design gardens on the weekends. 
​

Fast forward to the present, I now consult in the business travel industry, but am no longer reporting to the everyday corporate desk.  Landscape design and project management is now my primary focus.
