Heather was born and raised in Southern California. If you’re wondering…yes, she says “dude” and “like” a lot, maps driving directions based on travel time rather than distance, and will never pass up having In-N-Out.

As an avid learner, she earned her Doctorate degree in Education and spent several years in Social Work helping foster youth and homeless veterans. She enjoys writing books to help children and family on subjects ranging from overcoming anxiety to combating bullying with kindness.

She currently lives in the Bay Area with her amazing teenage children, her fabulous boyfriend Matt, and her cuddle beast Husky, Echo.
