Nina has a long history of working in the non-profit, philanthropic, and government sectors. She left that life to be the primary manager of the needs of her autistic son. That experience has long been fodder for Nina's writing, but so have other topics that tap into her passions and beliefs, which is where her TOI blog comes in. Nina values thoughtful feedback and critique, but despairs over a world in which people hurl insults, lies, and worse from their ideological cages. She worries for the future her kids will inherit, and is determined to do as much good as she can to help give them a better one than the present indicates might be possible.
Nina is most proud of her role as a parent to those unique young adults, whom she co-parents with her wiser, better half. She blogs about that experience now and again at parentjungle.blogspot.com She also reflects on life in her writings on Medium.
