At forty years old, Dr. Contino made a decision to leave her secure teaching job to pursue an uncertain career in the theatrical arts. Born to Create tells the story of her journey from the rigorous world of the academe, to the vivacious backstage of the performing arts. In the book, Dr. Contino candidly talks about her experience of going back to school at forty. Despite her success, her journey was far from perfect. She opens up about the difficulty of adjusting to the different atmosphere, career, and people while facing her family’s doubts. But in the end, she persevered. “Once the door of opportunity presents itself, go for it!”

Born to Create was featured at one of the premiere international gatherings of publishing professionals, the Frankfurt Book Fair, from October 11 to 15, 2017. The event took place at the Frankfurt Trade Fair, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
