I’m a former television news reporter, health blogger, dog lover, and the founder of ProudDogMom. After four years of covering local news in stations stretching from snowy Pennsylvania to sunny Texas, I redirected my curious nature to the dogs. Now, I spend my days interviewing various dog experts and share the latest canine must-knows with fellow dog moms around the globe. My passion for puppies started when I was just a little girl. Now, I raise two precious pooches — a four-year-old Chihuahua, Diego, and a two-year-old toy Poodle, Gigi. I am also the author of dog treat cookbook titled, “Proud Dog Chef: Tail-Wagging Good Treat Recipes” — available at online bookstores such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
