A Work in Progress

I can't recall a time when I wasn't writing—in journals, notebooks, on napkins—or, failing that, reading. Growing up the seventh of eight kids (and one of only two girls) in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, I was never short on inspiration or trauma from which to draw.
My family, led by two creative, public school teacher parents, celebrated the arts, music, sports, and all things performative. My compulsion to write and read offered the quiet solitude and excuse to observe when I needed it... which it still does today.
With degrees in English Writing and Education from Saint Mary's College of Notre Dame, Mandy went on to earn her Masters in Creative Writing at DePaul University in Chicago... with a short stint at the National University of Ireland at Galway.
Most recently, she has worked in Public Relations and Marketing for high-end brands, writing content from corporate communications to personal narratives for educational platforms and websites. Themes focus on women's health, mental and public health, literacy, and family.
Mandy is currently lucky enough to live in the Northern Chicago suburbs with her partner, three children, dog named Mulligan, recently adopted cat named Bougie Marie, and (up until the time of this publication) a frog who escaped it's quarters for adventures unknown.
Fare thee well, Taddy. Fare thee well.
