Short Bio: I grew up in Ohio, and after graduating from the University of Toledo and the University of Pennsylvania, I worked as a family therapist. Over the years I've served in supervisory and operations roles, and I'm interested in nutritional counseling, health education, and creating tools for mental health professionals. A lifelong bibliophile, I wrote my first novel in a yellow notebook at age 9. I live on Cape Cod with my three children and two cats.
