Author Bio for Dr. Trina Boice
Dr. Trina Boice grew up in California and moved to Las Vegas 15 years ago. In 2004, she was honored as the California Young Mother of the Year, an award which completely amuses her 4 sons.

She’s a #1 best-selling author of 35 books, with another hitting store shelves soon! You can see them all on www.TrinaBoice.com She is an author coach at www.FromBook2Business.com and has created quite a few online courses for professional and personal development at www.LifelongLearningEducation.com

Trina currently teaches for BYU-Idaho online and is a film critic at www.MovieReviewMom.com

A popular speaker, Trina’s daily podcast is called “Daily Inspirational Quotes”.

She graduated Summa cum laude with a doctoral degree in Management with a concentration in Higher Education Leadership from Colorado Technical University. Trina earned two bachelor’s degrees from BYU where she competed on the Speech and Debate team and the Ballroom Dance Team, winning national titles for both. She was President of the National Honor Society Phi Eta Sigma and served as ASBYU Secretary of Student Community Services.

Trina also studied at the University of Salamanca in Spain and later returned there to serve an LDS mission in Madrid for 1 ½ years. She is currently volunteering as a Service Missionary as an Institute teacher in the Pathway program. She has a Real Estate license, Travel Agent license, 2 master’s degrees, and a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, although she’s the first one to admit she’d pass out from fright if she were ever really attacked by a bad guy.

She worked as a Legislative Assistant for a Congressman in Washington D.C. and was given the “Points of Light” Award and Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her domestic and international community service. She wrote a column called “The Boice Box” for a newspaper in Georgia, where she lived for 15 years. She writes for several web sites and is currently the Entertainment News Editor for BellaOnline.com.

Trina has gone on several speaking tours in China, Colombia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. She loves to travel all over the world and now shares her travel tips and tricks with others at www.EmptyNestTravelHacker.com

Trina was selected by KPBS in San Diego to be a political correspondent during an important presidential election. If she told you what she really did she’d have to kill you.

Bio
My name is Taylor T. Carlson, and I have been a lover of cinema my whole life, having been writing reviews and articles in some shape or form since my teenage years. My tastes in film are diverse and cover nearly all genres, from biblical epics to raunchy R-rated comedies. A few favorite films of mine include The Godfather Parts I and II, This is Spinal Tap, the Star Wars franchise, and Top Gun. When I am not reviewing films I am at hard rock and heavy metal concerts around the Vegas Valley, reviewing those as well.
