Hometown: Levittown, Pa.
Birthday: Nov. 27
Bio: Seasoned journalist, eternal optimist, professional skeptic, hopeless romantic, Sagittarius. Mother of four. Wife of a great guy named Jim. Pet lover. Chronic gardener-savant.
Secret shame: I look forward to Friday night dance parties in my living room, heavy on the funk and 70s disco; and I truly like teenagers.
Wholeheartedly believe that great journalism begins with great storytelling.
After a delayed reaction to career journalism during which I got married and had a few kids, I spent a dozen years at the Bucks County Courier Times in Levittown, Pa., writing features, news enterprise and a weekly column about the antics of my family juxtaposed against universal truths of life. Also launched a teen section called r e a l i t y, which persists 18 years later.
Made the move to New Hampshire in 2001 to work for the New Hampshire Union Leader writing statewide news and features. Have learned to love snow.
