Ten Things You May Not Know About Me
- I grew up on a farm. My undergraduate degree is in Agriculture and I now own a part of my family’s farm, although I don’t live there.
2. While in graduate school, I worked in the finance department for the World Bank. In a bit of irony, today I’m a consultant working with the World Bank.
3. I raised four kids. They are all fabulous, and I feel privileged to have had a part in their lives.
4. If I had not bought my house in 1997, I would not be able to afford one today in my Los Angeles neighborhood.
5. I was the Rodeo Queen of the country’s second largest rodeo. I have no pictures of this, although my mom certainly does.
6. I have three patents and there are many others that I’ve worked on.
7. I mostly write about business and economics, but I also wrote five children’s books. They’re called the Bloomers Island series, published by an imprint of Penguin Random House. They’ve practically all sold out.
