She volunteered and worked for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers both in the US and Canada.

She lives in Arizona, where she continues to dedicate most of her time to her animals and to writing.

Her current projects include a memoir titled, Romanian Rhapsody, a children’s book,Dr.Schnauzer and Nurse Lhassa as well as numerous scripts and unfinished short stories :)
