I am the HMC (Hip-Mama-in-Chief ) at Polka Dot Whale.com, an online baby boutique for fun and funky baby fashion. I am proud to be a WAHM with my one-year-old baby girl, Emme, always at my side. Prior to launching Polka Dot Whale in 2005, I was a Child Abuse Investigator and hold a Master's in Social Welfare from UCLA. I'm passionate about children & families and have found a way to translate that passion into my current "mompreneur" endeavor with Polka Dot Whale!
