Her previous experiences include ghostwriting and publishing books for independent financial professionals and serving as an online editor at CJOnline.com.

Outside of her professional work, you can find Regina parenting three kids alongside husband Adam, waging war on the chaos of their fixer-upper bungalow, or reading and watching fantasy escapist stories.
