Rebecca graduated from Malone College in 2008 with a Bachelor’s degree in Youth Ministry. She started writing & illustrating in 2013, about her dog Pookie, when she wanted a fun and wholesome story for her nieces and nephews, some of whom were learning to read. Along with this venture, she wanted to make her Adventures of Pookie series into a cartoon. So in 2015, she started attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and 16 months later, she was certified in 2D Animation. Along with The Adventures of Pookie children’s book series, she is the author of a personal development book, The Creative Minds Guide to Success. She travels full time in a 5th wheel RV with her husband Eric, and two dogs, Thor & Bailey, for his job as a Journeyman Lineman and writes about their adventures along the way. In January of 2019, she started a publishing and entertainment company, The Adventures of Pookie LLC. The goal of The Adventures of Pookie LLC is to encourage children to pursue their love of art and nurture it, as well as offer wholesome entertainment for children.
