In September 1980, she was accepted to study communications at Boston University's School of Communications to major in public relations. However, life interrupted. She became a single mother the following year instead. While raising her daughter, she went from a short stint on welfare to graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a degree in Legal Studies, and ultimately starting a paralegal career. She wrote the first manuscript of Once Broken in 1995, but abandoned it as her paralegal career excelled. She married the love of her life when her daughter was fourteen, blended two beautiful step daughters into the family. In the early 2000's she built two businesses in the legal industry.

In 2015, she sold her businesses and was blessed to find the time and resources to resume the dream of writing.
