What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I'm a speechwriter and a cross-genre author of children's book, fiction & creative nonfiction. I've also been a journalist for a long time.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Volunteer: The New York Common Pantry
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I grew up experiencing ACE concepts and talking to adults and mentors about my experience along the way. I was saved by being studious and designated in elementary and middle school as a gifted, resilient young woman. That helped me overcome ACEs despite a lack of stable familial support.
