Before children, cancer and the Covid pandemic, I researched and produced TV documentaries.

My BA in English and MA in Journalism are from the University of Florida.

I’m writing my first book — a memoir about discovering I had metastatic breast cancer while pregnant in 2017.

The twist is it won’t be a total bummer.

Because of children, cancer and Covid I’m self-publishing the book. My past in media rights clearance, licensing and archives makes this a fun adventure for me, and I hope it will get my stories out into the world sooner than going the traditional publishing path.

This book is also my way of thanking all of you who have supported my family and me over the years. I haven’t taken a moment for granted.

I get to live in Gainesville, Florida with my husband and two children.
