My special thanks and endless admiration to my husband, Dr. Michael Devin Heller, who supported me when I was writing my very first book during times that were trying in more ways than I could have predicted. To my mom and my brother, who cheered me on across the globe, my love and gratitude. My appreciation and many thanks to the Packt team, especially to Shazeen Iqbal, Sankalp Khattri, and Neil D'mello who believed in my potential before I did.

To my dad, who always invested in my education and development: I wish you were here.
