I have a passion for empowering others through my words and actions. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I always had a fire in my spirit and a zest for life. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services from the University of Scranton, which ignited my passion for helping others.
I survived an alcoholic father and two abusive marriages and still managed to succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worn many hats, from a Living Skills Facilitator guiding adults with traumatic brain injuries and cerebral palsy to a Women's Liaison at the Lackawanna County Drug Court, where I championed justice and compassion. As the Director of Community Resources at Golden Lakes Village Love in Action, I wove connections and fostered a community of love and collective action.
My books include "Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons," "Unearthing My Irish Roots," and "Surviving Your Demons." I am currently working on my fourth book, Anatomy of an Alien”. I continue to try and inspire and empower through my writing, podcast and YouTube show “Be Heard Empower Yourself”, speaking engagements, and social media presence.
I am already published on Amazon and Audible in English and Spanish.
I would like an agent to help me expand my presence in the field of non-fiction writing.
