I am from Palmerston North, New Zealand. I am a mother of two sons, the younger of whom is autistic. Owing to the challenges of raising a child with special needs, I have decided to do freelance writing from home. I have a doctorate in psychology, along with an endorsement in clinical psychology. I have carried out qualitative research on women's health, retirement, and sexual abuse. I am looking forward to writing on these topics as well as something on New Zealand - our culture, particularly our wonderful Maori culture, places to see, and so forth.
I enjoy reading, walking, making glass mosaic pieces, chess and a bit of gardening when there is time.
