Just who do you think you are?

I get asked this question daily. Whether it's cutting in line at the checkout or making a scene at my daughter's dance recital, people seem to want to know who I am.

Mostly, I am a marketing director, aspiring writer, wife and the opposite of a helicopter mom.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I hate snow so, I moved to South Carolina.

 My current novel in progress, I’m Only Here for The Weather  is set in the rural south and told from a haphazard woman's point of view.

The novel explores culture shock, motherhood, aging, religion and the desire to be accepted.

My stories can also be found on Main Street Writes, medium and you tube.

​

And if that wasn't enough, please scroll for a deeper dive into my personal life.

Fun fact, I'm a Yinzer. That means I bleed black and gold. I love the my hometown and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I hate snow so now I watch the games in a bikini lounging in a hammock between two palm trees.

Yinz better get your tossle caps n'at!

​

I am a dog enthusiast!

Some of my best afternoons are spent playing "wait for me to wake up and throw the ball again."

Is there anything better than reading a good book on a porch swing with your best friend by your side?

I really did buy a shack

in the South Carolina Lowcountry -sight unseen!

This very house and rural southern town is the inspiration for the setting for my novel,

I'm Only Here For The Weather. 

​

I might be a trophy wife, but my husband is a Draft King.

If fantasy football is a reality in your house, please know you are not alone.​ While he stacks a fake roster with kickers and receivers, I support the Steelers with tried and true recipes for game day.
