I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa and have lived here for most of my life. I am the third of five children and growing up in a large Greek family defined many of the characteristics that have contributed to who I am today.

The extraordinary begins with ordinary people like myself. Whether you are a stay-at-home mum, an educator, a single parent, the head of a business organization or an entrepreneur, true greatness and extraordinary achievement does not require a unique invention of "first this" or "biggest that".
Every single woman has extraordinary potential and this needs to be tapped and shared with a South African community that is desperate for extraordinary leaders from ordinary walks of life.
I set out on my journey to write an HIV and AIDS book that would be simple to understand and follow. It was an easy decision to make because nothing like it existed. I did not create a device of scientific fascination.  I created a book that people -children-to-adult could use to save their lives and the lives of those they love.
