Aviva’s life­long dream was always to be a writer. From a young age, she wrote short sto­ries that she shared with friends and fam­i­ly. When she went to col­lege at Boston Uni­ver­si­ty, her love for writ­ing led her to get two bachelor’s degrees in Jour­nal­ism and Reli­gion. She then moved to New York City and wrote for a finan­cial mag­a­zine, where she wrote break­ing news and in-depth ana­lyt­i­cal pieces about cor­po­rate bankruptcy.

After get­ting tired of the hus­tle and bus­tle of NYC, she moved to Israel where she spent six months vol­un­teer­ing full­time with spe­cial needs adults. Ready to get back into the cor­po­rate world, Avi­va then got an MBA at Tel Aviv Uni­ver­si­ty and worked for a con­sult­ing firm and a high-tech company.

When her daugh­ter was born, Avi­va decid­ed it was time to get back to her life­long dream and be a writer full­time. She still lives in Israel, hap­pi­ly mar­ried with three chil­dren and a dog. When she is not writ­ing, Avi­va loves to run, hike, and be out­side. Fol­low her on Insta­gram: aviva_writes
