About Me

Each day holds new possibilities for great discoveries and hidden joys. We never experience the same day twice. Whether it's a lesson learned, a new revelation or unusual event, every day is as unique as you allow it to be.

A perfect day for me is one where I'm free to explore and learn, then photograph and write about it. It might be something as random as finding out that overhead power lines hum in the key of A or that sunflower seeds and pine cone bracts are arranged in a Fibonacci spiral.

My writing style is engaging, lighthearted and often humorous when crafting non-fiction.  Currently, as the Content Coordinator for two monthly magazines, North Valpo Neighbors and South Valpo Neighbors, I enjoy writing stories about local families, businesses and activities. Additionally, I am working on several children's books in both historical non-fiction and humorous fiction.

Born and raised in southern California, I've since lived all across the country and had many great adventures. I'm passionate about playing tennis, photography and cooking. I'm an Italophile through-and-through, but live in Valparaiso, Indiana. I love spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren: Spencer, Carter and Madalyn.
