| April Henry was born in
1959, in Portland, Oregon. After living in several states, her parents moved to Medford,
Oregon, when she was five. She lived there until she graduated from Medford High School. A
graduate of Oregon State University in Corvallis, she also studied abroad at the
University of Stuttgart. She put herself through school using a patchwork of scholarships
and odd jobs, including cook, maid, German translator, life drawing model, data entry
person, and a brief stint as the girl who jumps out of a cake. For the past twelve years April has worked as a
health care communicator, most recently for Kaiser Permanente, the nation's oldest and
largest HMO. She is a member of the Healthcare Communicators of Oregon, Willamette
Writers, and the International Association of Business Communicators, from which she has
won several awards.
April currently lives in Portland,
Oregon, with her husband and daughter.
