A Little Bit About Me...

Picture

Sweet Home Chicago

Chicago is my favorite city in the world and I’m proud to call it home. I live in the Lincoln Square neighborhood with my husband and daughter. 

I’ve been fortunate enough to live in several cities, including two years in my beloved Hong Kong. My travels have taken me across the world, but I am always ready to travel more! 

​I am a proud member of the​ Chicago Writers Association.

Career

The majority of my career has been spent in IT project management, content strategy, and fundraising with specific focus on schools and nonprofit organizations. 

I currently work at a large technology consulting firm, focusing on modernization and sustainability within the public sector. 

I have a BA in English and Hispanic Language and Literature from Boston University and an MA in Social Work from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration.
