I graduated from JST with my MTS in 2021. I’m an award-winning author
of 11 books and numerous magazine articles and lead a national ministry, The Peace in the Storm Project (www.thepeaceinthestormproject.com), based on one of my books, Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness. Most of my work focuses on the intersections of spirituality and faith and health/wellness/medicine, however I also am a gemologist and have begun to write about specific aspects of that field (most recently, turquoise and turquoise grading). I was a language major at Georgetown University (I have lived in France and Spain) and hold a Master of Fine Arts from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television (Playwriting). These experiences have given me a healthy respect for language and a delight in all things writing! Website: www.maureenpratt.com
