Sure, there are times that make me look back and positively cringe, but I think that part of life is having lots of experiences- the good, the bad, and the completely humiliating. I'm not sure that I would change anything. If you could change anything about your Cornell experience, what would it be? It made me realize that I could do anything. But ultimately, it gave me a sense of confidence. I learned so much about myself that semester- in a country where I barely spoke the language with a bunch of people I didn't know, I was completely out of my comfort zone. But one of the experiences I always look back on and think about was my semester abroad in Seville, Spain. What is your favorite memory of your time at Cornell? That sort of friendship is so unbelievably special. There's just something about the people who have known you since you were 18 years old. We meet for girls nights out, have our kids play together, celebrate all of our good times and support each other through the bad ones. I'm in touch with Shawn Hecht Morris, Danielle Schmelkin, Jennifer Avitabile Moss, Tandy O'Donoghue, and Jessica Shevitz Rauch. My closest friends in the world are still the people I met at Cornell.

I live with my husband and our two sons on Long Island. But whether at a big NYC firm or at my federal judicial clerkship, I'd find myself wandering the halls, thinking of the stories I wanted to write.
After Cornell, I went to law school, and I practiced law for a few years. It's been wonderful making my life-long dream of becoming a published writer come true. My agent recently sold my New Adult novel, The Lonely Hearts Club, to Polis Books. I'm also the author of Scot on the Rocks and Jack with a Twist, and my work's appeared in the New York Post and Publisher's Weekly. My third novel, Recipe for a Happy Life, was published by St. Tell us about what you're doing with your life.
