About the author
Maryann Dratch
After graduating from Rutgers University in 1978, I moved from New Jersey and made my home in Ca Di Bazzone, a suburb of Bologna, Italy. While living there for a number of years, I taught English as a second language.
After returning home to The United States, I reestablished myself in New York with my husband, Steven. My husband practices veterinary medicine.
I have two sons, Daniel and Joshua. Daniel has become an accomplished musician, living in south Florida, teaching music and playing the blues. My son Joshua is a practicing veterinarian and works with his father.
I’ve worked the last 10 years as a private college counselor. I have assisted high school students entering college with the application process. I assisted with resume building and, more importantly, essay writing.
Facilitating students to create and develop their own story to write in their essay section of their college application has helped enhance my writing skills over the years.
All of these factors have contributed to the creation of A Journey Through Time.
