I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Secondary Education and have worked in that field for the past 26 years. In this role I am often reminded that despite the drastic changes society endures over time, one thing remains constant; The excitement, anxiety and passion of that moment in a young person’s life when innocence is lost, and the future self emerges. In 2020 I set the goal of writing a Coming-of-Age novel and completed the book in 2022. FINDING HAZLETON was my first complete novel. I learned so much during that process that I was eager to try again and make my next project shine. I am excited to announce that my sophomore novel, THE BRIDGE will be released in the summer of 2024!
