For the past 30 years Caren has dedicated her personal and professional life to communicating and connecting with people. Her past experiences have allowed her to meet many different people and make a difference in their lives. In the early 90’s she was a children’s rock and roll singer, signed with Rhino Records. She traveled the country singing songs of self-esteem. That experience culminated with a concert at Carnegie hall. During that same time she owned a creative arts company that provided programming for the public and private schools sector in Los Angeles. Her 50 plus teachers brought art programs back, which had been cut out of the schools because of budget cuts. Caren has learned a lot about what it takes for people to create positive experiences in their lives while following their passions. http://www.promoteyourpassionnow.com
