Who is Deleyna?

Deleyna is the proud mother of 3 awesome adults and is figuring out what it means to be a grandmother. She collects additional children the way most people collect stray cats, and of course, she has the cats as well.

Since she could hold a pencil, Deleyna’s passion has been writing. While that is a cliche’, she is unique in that her first novel was written on gum wrappers. As a young woman, she learned to program and discovered a talent for helping people and computers learn to work together and play nice. When she’s not playing with her granddaughter, writing, or designing for the internet, she can be found wandering the local beaches.

Education

Deleyna graduated from Santa Clara University with a BA in English/Creative Writing, a Minor in Anthropology, and a Minor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Work history

Deleyna worked as a programmer, a pre-school teacher, a tour-guide, a planner, and even as a NASA minion. She left the working world to follow her calling to motherhood, web design, and writing.
