Speaker Bio: I am the proud mother of four beautiful children, three sons and one daughter. I was born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. I attended Vanderbilt University for my undergraduate education, where I competed in Division 1 cross country and track and field for four years. I attended Loyola University Chicago School of Law where I received my J.D. I enjoy swimming, running, reading, hiking, playing the piano, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I have enjoyed writing since I was a child. I find writing to be rewarding, challenging, and fulfilling. I love journaling, brainstorming ideas, researching issues, and writing about topics that are meaningful to me. I created my new book, Navigating the Newborn Months and Beyond, to help mothers manage the first few months of motherhood and feel less overwhelmed.
