Mother, Writer, Reiki
Bio

Kristy received her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from USC. During her five years of internships and work as an Occupational Therapist, she worked in a Parkinson's outpatient clinic, an adult mental health private practice, skilled nursing facilities and with access technology for people with visual impairments.  One of her favorite jobs was working with at-risk youth in South Central Los Angeles teaching independent living skills. The lives of these young men truly touched her heart. 

Her desire to travel led her to spend a summer in Sweden to study their health care system.  Little did she know she would meet the man who would become her husband two weeks into the trip!

Fate and magic united the two in the Bay Area, Kristy’s home town.  She changed careers to work for a software company where she ultimately managed a business tools team. 

Kristy's love of writing came into play thanks also to her children.  She would turn to writing as a much-needed outlet for the constant narration in her head of the humorous disasters and touching moments of being a mother, and being very human along a spiritual path. 

Kristy is a contributing member of
The Writing Mamas Salon and has been published in many newspapers and magazines.
