I have been an educator for more than thirty years and a writer ever since I could hold a crayon. I studied at the University of Miami, where I received degrees in English literature, Judaic studies, and business law. Later, I received my master’s degree in English education. Additionally, I have written curriculum for UNESCO and books for children and teens. When I was just six years old, my first story about making a chocolate birthday cake for my father was published in my elementary school's newspaper. My passion for travel and my Jewish-American-Cuban background combine interest and depth in my story-telling.When not traveling, I enjoy going to baseball games, dancing, reading, and shopping. I currently live in South Florida where I write and teach English.
