Although writing fiction is my first love, I have a Ph.D. in engineering, and an MBA from the State University of New York. I received awards for my work from companies such as GE. In addition, I am an inventor with three patents. I served as an executive and senior manager for high-level operations and quality design in the aerospace, defense, industrial, and energy sectors.
My husband and I live in New York State. I wake up every day with a sense of gratitude for the country that welcomed me, and pride for my two sons and their accomplishments.
