She spent 12 years working mainly in London, writing for a number of magazines and national newspapers, including the Sunday Business, the Sunday Telegraph and the Financial Times. In her mid thirties she moved with her husband and baby to Pennsylvania where she was a 'stay-at-home mom' for two years.
