I've had a passion for writing since I was a kid. As a senior professional content writer for two digital marketing and web development companies, my passion became my career. I'm lucky that I've been able to maintain my love of the art, despite it being my everyday work, by sharing stories of my journey as a mother to a medically complex 5-year-old boy. My son is a 4-year brain tumor and stroke survivor who currently battles epilepsy and partial paralysis of the entire right side of his body. While I'm proud that he's a survivor, he is so much bigger than his medical journey. He attacks life with a vibrant and engaging spirit that leaves most people in disbelief of the challenges he's faced. We share his story to find a purpose for his pain and help others stay positive and fight whatever comes their way.
