I worked as a registered dental hygienist in Washington and later in my home state of California. My scope of practice included periodontal, prosthodontic, and general dental practices. I founded a dental hygiene service business in the Sacramento, California area, servicing over fifty dentists, and I served with the Dental Board of California (formerly called COMDA) assisting with dental hygiene board exams for three years. These combined experiences have made me comfortable with communicating with clients as well as business owners. Eager to continue my service beyond dentistry, I pursued further education, earning a Bachelor of Science (BSA) in Accounting, and embarked on my latest entrepreneurial journey.

My husband Ken Tune and I reside at Sun City Lincoln in northern California. He attended UC Berkeley as an undergraduate, graduating with honors. After serving in the Army, he attended Harvard Law School, where he also graduated with honors. Ken actively practiced law in Orange County, Sacramento, and Los Angeles before we moved to Lincoln, where he now practices law at a considerably less hectic pace. His current practice is primarily in the area of estate planning. After the passing of our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Trace, we decided to welcome Teddi, a female Havanese puppy, into our home.
