Author and Communication Strategist

After a 40+year career in strategic communication, I‘m in the throes of a new career. Author!! (Though I still own Intent Communication, a strategic communication consultancy.)

From children's picture books, both fiction and nonfiction, to scholarly writing focused on the study of America's First Ladies, my  new  writing  journey  Is  more  exciting  than  I  ever  could  have  imagined.

This  year,  I am focused  on  writing as much as I can and selling my first picture book. Plus, I become  a  published  contributing  author in an  upcoming  scholarly book on First Ladies in 2025 (University Press of Kansas).

I hold a master's degree in strategic communication and a bachelor's degree in journalism, both from American University. I also hold a professional certificate in children's book writing from the University of California at San Diego. 

I am a proud member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), the  12  X  12  Picture  Book  Writing  Challenge,  the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE) where I serve on the board of directors.
