I am a writer who has worked as a reporter, columnist and feature story writer, predominantly for community newspapers in the Boston area. A few years ago I proudly wrote and published a lighthearted collection of dog ownership inspired anecdotes called “The Puppy Diet, and Other Endearing Family Dog Tails.”

​

Before writing professionally, I began a career path in psychology, earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a doctoral degree from Boston University. My psychology work primarily involved teaching at various colleges while simultaneously managing a domestic household for my surgeon husband, our two children, and the family dogs.

​

Now I am focusing my writing on a long-awaited role in life: grandmother! While I could personally plan and work to achieve academic degrees, career positions and family roles of wife and mother, becoming a grandmother was beyond my immediate control.
