I graduated second in my law school class in 1989, from the University of Missouri, Columbia.  From 1989 to 1991, I worked as an attorney in the Washington D.C. office of Latham and Watkins.  I then worked for about a year at another Washington firm before leaving the practice of law in 1992.  I left because I felt a part of my soul would die if I stayed, and I wanted to keep it intact.  

   Luckily, I made the right decision, because shortly thereafter, I had my first chart reading with an astrologer.  The science of astrology impressed me so much, it set me on a new course.  I began to study, learned how to calculate a chart, and began interpreting charts for friends.  I began my full-time practice of astrology in 1994.
