Jill Dalenberg Thompson

Poetry, essay, wildlife: I chase what lives on the edge. I am originally from the Chicago area and have loved Lake Michigan ever since I first laid eyes on it. I now live in Holland, Michigan, with my husband, Jack, and a Labrador retriever named Finn. 

A mathematician by education, I spent fifteen years as a consulting actuary and eighteen years as a teacher before shifting my focus to writing. My freelance projects include data analysis and curriculum writing. If you would like to know more about my professional background, please visit me on LinkedIn.
