Growing up, Donica' collected a variety of stuffed animals. She received her very first teddy bear as a newborn. It was the comfort and joy these brought her, which inspired the book character, Tickles the Brave Teddy™. As a child she pretended to be a teacher, and shared many lessons with her stuffed animal "students". Her collection grew to include approximately 200 stuffed animals, overtime. They have since been donated for other children to love and enjoy.

Brave Like Me! Courageous Lessons About the COVID-19 Coronavirus and Healthy Coping for Children and Families Anytime is her debut picture book. Upon launching, Brave Like Me! ranked #4 on Amazon's Best Sellers list in Preventative Medicine and #1 New Release in both Preventative Medicine and Pediatrics categories.

Donica' enthusiastically enjoys mentoring young adults, supporting and participating in the arts, community service and perpetual learning. As a wellness enthusiast, she relishes an array of outdoor adventures and exploring nature globally through her ongoing international and national travels.

And of course she enjoys quality time spent curling up with loved ones and good books, as well as naps, and sipping hot herbal tea on a leisurely Sunday afternoon.
