Blue Ball

Author Background

The author is a native of Cuba and an American citizen who came to the US at the age of seven. Throughout her life, she has had the opportunity to wear many different hats career-wise.

Career in Law and Psychology

First, she worked as a legal secretary for various firms in the Miami, Florida, area for twenty-five years. This allowed her to study, finance, and obtain all her degrees in clinical psychology, culminating in her doctorate. She was licensed in the state of Florida as a clinical psychologist, and retired her license in May of 2026.

Other Professional Experience

She has also worked as a trust specialist and later as a social studies teacher, teaching world history to eighth graders for twenty-two years full-time for Miami-Dade County Public Schools, as well as working part-time simultaneously for Children's Psychiatric Center, which later became the Institute for Child and Family Health, for approximately thirteen years. She retired from the workforce in 2022.

Writing Endeavors

The author has previously dabbled at writing poetry. She now embarks on a new endeavor—namely, writing. The Blue Ball, a book for young children, is her first book. It is her hope that all children and their parents enjoy it.
