About the Author

Wendy, who lives in Royersford, PA, was born with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a progressive disease that eventually takes your sight completely. It is more commonly known as “Tunnel Vision” since your sight progressively reduces to a small tunnel of visibility. Wendy has been partnered with five Seeing Eye® dogs since 1993.

Before beginning her career as a writer, Wendy worked for many years at several different jobs, including as a clerk at the local district court, administrative assistant at Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceutical, and as a membership manager with the Girl Scouts of Eastern PA. Wendy’s Seeing Eye® dogs worked alongside her every day. While working at Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, she took advantage of the opportunity to continue her education and completed her BA degree in Communications at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA.

Today, Wendy is a dynamic public speaker for the The Seeing Eye®. She decided to write about her life with her Seeing Eye® dogs to help children understand the important part they play in enhancing her life and helping her live independently by being her Superheroes.

Along with becoming an author, Wendy is learning how to run a business and embracing the many social media platforms. Wendy is an avid vegetable gardener. Wendy is also teaching herself to play the piano and to knit for the first time in her life. Wendy aspires to show her sons and grandchildren that anytime is the right time to live your own adventure!
