Behind the Writing:  Journey of S.R. Gentry

I am an authentic leader who has worked in business for 18 years. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to expand my skill set and pursue my purpose in creative writing and speaking.

 

I live in a suburb of Philadelphia and have been married to my husband, Mark, for 20 years. Together, we have a blended family of five children and one grandson: Gaige (28, who lives on Maui), Milo (4, who also lives on Maui), Eva (24, who lives in Philadelphia), Emma (23, who lives at home after graduating from college), Chase (20, a college freshman), and Elle (18, a high school senior).

 

I became a mother at the age of 17, in 1996. My family has inspired me to work tirelessly to be the best version of myself. Despite the many obstacles I have faced, I have never let my circumstances define who I am or who I want to become. I look forward to this next chapter!
