I got turned on by behavior science and the wonderful realization that force-free training is not only humane and kind, but is science-based and shown to be extremely effective in training all animals. After a brief but all too long stint with local trainers who mixed aversives and rewards, I found the positive reinforcement training community on the Internet, then locally. I came to dog training a typical way: I got a dog with problem behaviors. Contact me through the contact page for rates. I do freelance fact-checking on the topics of acoustics and behavior science, and freelance editing for both non-fiction and fiction. I teach a writing mentorship once or twice a year through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.

I worked my way up the ranks in the publishing world, starting as a proofreader. I have worked as a performing musician and a university-level math teacher. I am recently retired from a wonderful non-profit agency that helped impoverished women access health services. I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music (performance), and a master’s degree in applied science with an emphasis on Active Sound Cancellation (noise control).
