Hi! I enjoy living the SMALL TOWN LIFE IN BIG L.A. I own CAL WEST MEDIA where I use my love of writing and photography to share peoples stories via social media and news outlets.
I am an active member of the MONTROSE SHOPPING PARK Association since 2000 where I have served in various board, social media, and publicity positions. Owning two boutiques, REVELATION TOPS and MOUNTAIN ROSE GIFTS, has given me access to the everchanging fashion and home décor worlds. I love Montrose, it's people, family events, Harvest Market, and hundreds of "one of a kind" shops, salons, spas, exercise studios, and cafes! I am continually inspired here and find great joy in sharing the hidden gems.
Dale, my husband of 38 years, and I reside in the mountains of CHATSWORTH. Here we live on the former IVERSON MOVIE RANCH property where many famous movies and westerns were filmed. Just a short drive away is CHATSWORTH LAKE CHURCH, the country chapel Dale pastors. Chatsworth is in the very northwest corner of Los Angeles and known for its spectacular rocks and horse ranches.
I am an unconfessed "foodie" and could easily spend all of my time visiting restaurants, photographing food, and writing about it. I am honored to be chosen as a Patch Mayor and look forward to sharing this part of the world with you!
