Dufresne is a writer and a licensed psychotherapist who teaches at Quincy University.

She has always had a passion for writing. Instead of listening in school, she often wrote stories, essays, and poems. Hence, her bad grades in conduct. She loves to tell stories verbally too, and spent a small part of her life as a comedian and has recently returned to stage acting.
