BIOGRAPHY
I’m an immigrant born to an immigrant and on for generations. That wanderlust rubbed off. My parents are Dutch, but I’ve lived in Canada, Iowa, England, California, Texas and Virginia. To keep it interesting, my British husband and I adopted a Bulgarian!

My career has been equally varied. I trained as a scientist: microbiology and immunology. Then I worked in medical research before teaching cell biology, microbiology, and more at a couple of colleges in VA. After a brief stint as a movie star (seriously!), I founded a nonprofit and learned about websites, newsletters, blogs, and speaking. That wasn’t enough of learning new things, so I started a company and took on the dubious pleasures of negotiating with lawyers, writing patents, and finding investors.

And now? I'm doing what I love. Enjoying my eight grandchildren, gardening, and writing books. Adult books, big kid books, little kid books, and even a book on doing microbiology in your kitchen. Nonfiction written like fiction.
