Graduated with a BA & MA in Near Easter/Islamic Studies from UC Berkeley, curated the Brundage Collection of Iranian Art in the Link TextAsian Art Museum in San Francisco and continue to publish and lecture in the art & archaeology of the Near East and Bible lands. Founded Maxtec Communications in 1988 which was superceded by Link TextAgora Marketing International in 1991. Agora provides high-level consulting and results-oreinted implementation of Link TextSEO PR, marketing and web site development for technology, financial services and non-profit organizations worldwide. I also lecture about, and write articles on, ancient history and archaeology, and am interested in languages, Biblical history and theology, Islam and 19th century English literature. I have also begun work on a historical novel, for which I plan to start a new blog where I can print my chapters. I believe strongly in giving back and in empowering women to live full and free lives. My current business web site for Link TextAgora is being redesigned and I hope will go live in September. I particularly like working with Link Texttechnology startups - I like being part of a close team and feeling that what I do is making a difference (which is why we do pro bono PR for non-profits, such as the Link TextIranian Christian Church). I am also a very involved member of the Link TextSeventh-day Adventist Church and run a lay aplogetics ministry with my husband and partner, Ron, for which we need a name & a blog! Our recent seminar on the facts & fiction of the DaVinci Code was well-received. We are planning a Dead Sea Scrolls seminar in the SF Bay Area & Santa Cruz in Q12007.
