I am a semi-private gal who lives and works in downtown Sacramento. I moved here after college in 1987. I found Sacramento to be the perfect place for me to settle. A city with the amenities of a big city but the not the big problems.

I was born in Canada to a Filipina mother and a British father. I left at the age of two weeks to live in Oregon, Washington, and Maine before dad took a job in Saudi Arabia. This great opportunity led to a life of world travel and culinary experiences. I've even had fresh camel's milk milked for my brother and I by a bedouin in the desert.
