About

I am the Office Manager here at SAI. While I have no first-hand knowledge of surrogacy (never having completed a journey myself) I have worked in Management, Employee Development and Human Resources for more than thirty years and was delighted to join the SAI team in early 2018. I grew up in Texas. I have traveled extensively, and have lived in Florida, Washington, DC and Virginia, but since moving to San Diego in the Fall of 2017 I have come to realize that I was always meant to be a California girl. I worked in the Hospitality, HR and Staffing fields for most of my professional career, but also spent time in the insurance field, worked as a Program Manager at the local employment office, and an Office Manager for two local funeral homes, all while running my own Staging business on the side. After visiting some long-time friends who had relocated to San Diego, I was persuaded (rather easily, I might add) to move to the West Coast and start a new chapter. After having spent the last few years working in an often sad and frequently stressful environment at the funeral home, I was very excited to come across an intriguing job opening at this interesting gestational surrogacy agency. It felt like fate, providence, or karma…whatever term you’re most comfortable with. After surviving in an environment designed to care for those who have departed this life, I felt like I was rewarded with an environment that welcomed in and celebrated new life. Now, I love my job with SAI and I can’t imagine working anywhere else.
