About the Author

As a lifelong storyteller and former screenwriting professor at DePaul University in Chicago, I have always been inspired to write stories about women. I’m a champion of the Female Myth, which shifts the ‘confront and conquer’ Male Myth paradigm to the more collaborative and compassionate ‘gather and grow’ paradigm. My work illuminates the presence of a soul with love, collaboration, and magic.

My professional career includes work in advertising and marketing as a copywriter and photographer, content editor and strategist for websites, and business development executive for film companies such as Filmworkers in Nashville, TN and at Resolution Digital Studios in Chicago. I love to teach and also taught essay writing at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago and conducted workshops on the Female Myth and Brand Storytelling.

I’m also an artist (ceramicist) and work in real estate. I love hiking, yoga, movies, comedy and trying new plant-based recipes.
