She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and started her journalism career covering three miniscule towns in South Carolina. After a stint covering business in Charlotte, NC, she got married, moved to Florida and started a 20-year career at the Tampa Bay Times. She covered business, then, after having her first baby, started a parenting column called Rookie Mom. Now—three kids, two careers, and one divorce later—she’s embracing the fact that life has many chapters.
