Marla Press

Marla Press, was born and raised in Rock Island, IL. She attended college at The University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and graduated with an undergraduate degree from the University of Texas-Austin.

Marla has been in the financial services industry since 1992 representing various money management firms.

Marla has always had a great love of animals and has had many dogs and cats in her life (the four legged kind).

What has made Marla successful in her career is what a friend referred to as her emotional intelligence. The ability to speak and understand someone elses language.

I’m a Dog, You’re a Cat, (Love Lessons from our Furry Friends) was born out of Marla trying to understand the new relationship in her life. When she shared the idea with her new uber-kitty he thought the concept was so great he offered his full support (a big, huge deal for a cat!). Thus came the idea for the book.

Marla lives in Houston, Texas with her two real rescue dogs, Riley and Bella.
