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 suburbs, 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.
After majoring in English Writing at Saint Mary's College of Notre Dame, Mandy went on to receive her masters in Creative Writing at DePaul University in Chicago with a short stint at the National University of Ireland at Galway.
Over the years with her experience in Public Relations and Marketing for high-end brands, she has written content for corporate communications to personal narratives for educational platforms and websites that focus on women's health and family.
Mandy currently lives in the Northern Chicago suburbs with her partner, three children, dog, and (up until the time of this publication) a frog who escaped its quarters for adventures unknown. Fare thee well, Taddy. Fare thee well.
