She received her journalism degree from Point Park University in 2003, and has written from numerous publications like Medical Economics, Healthline, Managed Healthcare Executive, and the Akron Beacon Journal.

She has a unique understanding of the challenges in healthcare from the perspective of both a writer and a caregiver.
