Inner Genius Global/Author and Creator

From a childhood filled with laughter, the aroma of fresh cakes and biscuits, and family holidays at the beach, I grew up in a supportive and encouraging environment. My parents were always my biggest cheerleaders, fostering a sense of confidence in me that has lasted a lifetime. As I grew, I began to reflect on my experiences and wonder about the “what-ifs” of life. Those reflections unveiled new opportunities and revealed my power to shape my future at any given moment.

Life has been an incredible journey — one that has seen me evolve from a daughter and sister to a mother, wife, career professional, author, and business owner. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep desire to leave a lasting legacy — something meaningful for generations to come.

Dance has always been my passion. From the age of six, I immersed myself in the world of movement and performance. My dedication earned me a scholarship at just nine years old in both tap and ballet. Later, I turned this love for dance into a career, becoming a Latin and ballroom dance instructor and adjudicator. I taught students of all ages, from six to eighty, and found immense joy in helping them discover their rhythm and confidence.

However, life often has a way of redirecting our paths, and in 2016, illness led me to a book that would change everything. You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor challenged me to rethink my life and ask powerful questions: “What is life really about?” and “Who am I?” These questions sparked a personal journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery. I dove into Bob’s teachings and attended seminars, eager to understand more about myself and the world around me.

That journey led to the creation of my first two books, How to Change Your Life in Six Days and Big Girl’s Pants. These books reflected the principles I was learning and explored the idea of awakening the inner genius to create a successful life. However, the most fulfilling part of this journey came when I saw children light up with joy after mastering a new concept. This inspired me to write The Genius Books — a series designed to empower children to understand their thoughts, nurture their imagination, and build the self-belief and confidence necessary to create their own happiness.

The Genius Books introduced characters that sparked curiosity and a love for learning, teaching children (and even “adult children”) how to develop a mindset that opens doors to endless possibilities. These books have become my legacy — offering children the tools to think, dream, achieve, and succeed.

Mindset is the key to everything we do in life, and we are never too young — or too old — to tap into our inner genius. Life is an incredible journey, and one decision can change your destiny, as it did for me. Make your best decision, and you’ll find a life you can truly experience, believe in, do, and love.
