About Us
Welcome to Grandmapreneur®, where passion and creativity have no expiration date!
At the age of 68, I became the inventor of Tip ‘n Split®, a handy device that simplifies tipping and splitting bills. My journey from professor to entrepreneur has been an exciting adventure, proving it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.
My invention even made its way to national television—watch my feature on The View here.
In addition to inventing, I’ve written books and created Write Your Selfie®, all aimed at inspiring others to embrace creativity and entrepreneurship in retirement.
Thank you for joining me on this journey of lifelong learning and innovation!
