• I grew up in Lake County, CA
• After high school, I moved to Sacramento to attend Sac State (BA Economics). In 1980 I married Ben Mulkey, and had a beautiful baby girl. In 1984 we moved to Texas where I attended:
• University of Texas at Dallas (High School Teaching Credential Mathematics and History).

• I enjoyed Dallas! While taking courses, I also did my student teaching at Richardson Junior High. Later when we moved to Maine, I taught high school mathematics at Scarborough High School. When we moved back to California I taught at Rosary High School, and Orinda Academy. All three institutions were (and still are) superior schools where I am proud to have worked.

• After an internship at Chronicle Books, some more of my Introduction into the publishing world occurred at AltaMira Press in Walnut Creek CA (1998-2001), founded by Mitch Allen, who later established   Left Coast Press .

• In the mid-2000s I spent a year at Key Curriculum Press, where I sold mathematics books like Key To Algebra and EMPower Mathematics to institutions such as Folsom State Prison and the Clark County (NV)School District.

• My life in publishing occurred for the most part at Publishers Group West (2001 to 2007) in Berkeley, CA where until early 2007, I worked in the Special Markets Department. We sold books into fun retail places like Anthropologie , Z Gallerie, and museums stores like the de Young Museum Stores.

• I volunteer at Oakland Museum of California , and take photographs everywhere I go. And I like fun stuff.
