My Story

A retired psychologist and consultant, previous winery owner, mother, and grandmother, I began writing to relay our experience with toxic mold. This journey led to the publication of MOLDed: A Memoir of Loss & Resilience.

Along the way, I discovered a love of writing, editing, creativity, community, craft, and more. My topics vary (toxic mold, dementia, family, travel, aging, and work), but include themes of resilience and gratitude. Check out the essays from this journey!

MOLDed: A Memoir of Loss & Resilience

After fighting mold for twenty-two months, we left everything to move our family to a drier area. While mold-free for two decades, the experience still haunts me. I worry about those struggling with this powerful foe. MOLDed: A Memoir of Loss & Resilience shines light on what it is like to fight toxic mold: upheaval, loss, resilience, and gratitude.
