I'm originally from Boston, but have lived in many places including Hawaii, where I completed my undergraduate studies, and Europe.

I finished my Master's Degree in Psychology with a focus in Forensic Psychology, and I am currently working on a second Master's Degree in Security & Global Studies with the focus TBD. I have worked in Marketing and Business Writing for over 6 years, with the occasional translation job taken "for fun." I now work in a more research-heavy field where I can put more of my skills to good use.

I used to manage blogs for my dogs (links below), written in their respective "voices" for entertainment, but sadly the older two have since passed away. I also have several of my own blogs and websites, with two websites also relaunching soon.

Other fun stuff -- I used to be a professional pastry chef, I've studied over a dozen languages, and I have an active imagination that keeps me from growing up too much, but I take care of my "grown-up responsibilities" when I must. I'm a classically trained singer and I've studied drama and improv so when I give presentations I tend to be entertaining, my jokes almost always land, and I can project my voice if needed :-)

I still have "ninja", "pirate ship captain", and "novelist" among others on my list of things to be when I grow up.
