I'm a native New Yorker with 20 plus years in the newspaper industry, a dear friend told me it's either in your blood or it isn't. It's in my blood. I also did some time in the not for profit sector and found my way to entrepreneurship and loving every minute of it. I've been enjoying books since reading Harold and the Purple Crayon and Where the Wild Things Are. I'm a huge animal lover and advocate for animal welfare.
