Hello! I was born in Tokyo, Japan where I left a budding singing career, at age 19, to marry my American husband. We are still married after many moons and suns.  In the first few years of living in America, I taught myself English and typing.  With these skills, I went into the insurance business and within a few years became a licensed commercial insurance agent.  During this period, we moved from Phoenix to San Francisco, to Seattle where I started Spanish Flamenco dance, then back to Phoenix.  After a couple of years in Phoenix, I decided it was time to take a sabbatical back to Japan to visit my roots. I spent a year there working for three different companies, the most notable being ARAMCO Oil as a coordinator & interpreter between the American, Saudi, and Japanese executives.

Upon my return to the USA, I spent 20 years at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas as the senior Group Room Reservations Specialist.  We then decided that it was time to move to our final destination, Spokane.  Now I feel that my dream has come true - living in Spokane and working with animals at the best clinic in the city!  My two dogs and I enjoy various places in Spokane, especially the bluff trails, every morning. Yep, 365 days a year! Love it, love it, love it!
