I'm an award-winning storyteller, having spent my career in television, writing and producing hundreds of hours of news and documentary programming. I'm passionate about creating compelling and engaging stories and am now telling my own with a memoir about my life in the online dating trenches. Having worked in TV during my career, I am quite comfortable with the interview process and the value of telling a good story.

After my divorce following a 22-year marriage, I took the plunge into online dating, and spent 13 years navigating the murky dating waters in search of a lasting love. I dated every imaginable kind of guy before finding my perfect match. In 2025, I celebrated my 4th wedding anniversary with Vince, my prince.

It was a long journey filled with all kinds of lessons learned, which I now share with others in hopes that they don't make the mistakes I made. The lessons include giving others the benefit of the doubt way too many times, tolerating bad behavior, ignoring red flags and dealbreakers, failing to listen to my gut, and more.

I admit online dating is hard. To succeed you need tenacity, determination, and a thick skin. But I also believe that if you take control of your dating experience you can succeed and not go crazy in the process!

My book, while a dating diary, is also a practical relationship manual. Along with my dating war stories, I offer numerous tips and tricks on how to succeed in online dating. I'm hoping my memoir will not only entertain, but also educate and inspire others to not give up on finding a perfect match. It IS possible! I'm living proof that one can find a lasting love in online dating.
