About the author

After working as a broadcast journalist, including at 1010 WINS in New York and as a correspondent for ABC TV's "Lifetime Magazine," she moved into independent documentary filmmaking. She has also been credited as co-producer of the films My Grandfather's House and Luboml: My Heart Remembers.

She is the author of Rachel and the Upside Down Heart. Publisher and book-page information describe her as a journalist-turned-filmmaker who lived in New York City, and note that the book grew out of deeply personal family experience.

Across her journalism, film, and writing, her work appears to center on memory, family, and emotional resilience, bringing a reporter's eye to intimate human stories.
