Biographie:
Michigan is my home, Chicago is my heart.

I am a new mom and a new author.

I've spent the last 15 years in new product development dreaming up crazy ideas from how to kill bugs dead to developing new ice cream forms that hit shelves in 2020. I love thinking about things that the world needs and figuring out how to make them happen.

When I was pregnant I got to thinking about what types of books I wanted to fill my library with. I started searching for this book and when it didn't exist, I decided to write it. I was laid off when I was 8 months pregnant and published my first book when my baby was 8 months old.

Knowing in high school what I wanted to do with my life set me up for the right college, the right internship early and a leg up for that first job.I hope the same advantage for my child and was very interested in books to help me figure out what she might be interested in, but came up short. I hope this book might help inspire your child to not just dream - but to also do.
