Marianne Swingle lives in Springfield, IL with her husband and children. She holds a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology from Colorado State University. After two internships in hospital cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, she moved to health programming for Lockheed Martin, and then onto project management for the US Defense Sector in the GPS Satellite program. After leaving her all-consuming corporate job in 2024, she is now a stay-at-home mom to two kids and is slowly working to become a certified Doula and NFP Instructor to get back to her much beloved roots in human physiology. You can find her chasing after her kids, doing CrossFit in their garage gym, or in a used book store buying copious amounts of spy novels.
