More About Me

I am an author, speaker, workshop presenter, and educator. My background includes teaching math at the high school and community college levels in New York and Virginia. I have spoken to multiple venues over the years on a variety of topics. As an author I write across the genres, starting with my non-fiction math empowerment books and my memoir, Fragments of a Woman’s Life. Later, having read so many novels, I decided to try my hand at fiction and fell in love with the process. What began as a single novel, Vanessa - a Love Story, has now morphed into The Vanessa Trilogy. Few things, I find, are as relaxing as reading a great book or writing a book of my own. My goal is not only to entertain and empower through my written works, but to assist other women who want to write get started and accomplish their writing goals. On a personal level, I am a wife, mother of two phenomenal adults, and grandmother to two adorable grandsons. I have several passions, and writing is one of them.

Below are two of the interviews that I have given that describe my passion and process for writing. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been interviewed on such magnificent platforms as The Writer’s Haven Show with V. Helena Yancey and Ingrid’s World with Ingrid Parris-Hicklin. Please enjoy!
