Judy has always loved books and the stories inside. Once she could read, Judy collected words like other children collect shells or rocks and used them to create her own stories. 

Although Judy has never stopped writing, as a single mother, her need to earn a living led to different kinds of writing. While working and raising her family, she completed a B.A. in Business Management and quickly progressed in a career as a Human Resources professional and leader. She wrote presentations, reports, and contracts throughout her career and took journalism and creative writing classes.
