I have several degrees from Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey. I have a BA in Business and Economics and a BA in English. In 1999, I received The Ruth Fryer Memorial Award for academic excellence in creative writing from Rutgers University – University College Newark. I’ve written four novels – two published (The Cradle Above the Abyss and D.J.
