FULL BIO

A bit about me. When other little girls were dreaming of becoming doctors and lawyers...I was dreaming of becoming a mom. I couldn't wait! And my dreams came true! I am the proud mother of two children. My son is 22 and my daughter is 19, and both still currently live with me. I spent some time as a stay-at-home mom and have spent some time as a single working mom as well.

I am a mom.
I am a Serial Entrepreneur
I attended Solano Community College.
I graduated from the Sacramento Entrepreneurship Association.
I have been the manager of a tropical fish and gift shop.
I am a kumuhula.
I have worked as a food server.
I have worked for the school district with Special Ed autistic children.
I recycle.
I am an ecologist.
I am an environmentalist.
I am a blogger.
I owned my own home business for 20 years.
I am the former president of a non-profit organization.
I founded and am currently the Senior Partner of RW Investments.
I founded and am currently CEO of The Smart Moms Network.


I believe:

~The most important thing I will ever do is be a good parent.

~If you are going to do something, you should do your best at it - be it big or small.

~In making memories. If you do the same thing every day you won't remember this day a year from now...but if you do something new...you just might.

~Life should be fun!


My goal is to improve the lives of women and children all over the world. Please join me.

~Laura
