Born in New York City, Dr. Goldstein began her working life as a rock-and-roll historian. She went on to editorial positions at the New York Post and the Daily News before publishing her first book in 2006. In 2016, she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in sacred theology from the University of St. Mary of the Lake. With her graduation from the Catholic University of America School of Canon Law in May 2023, she became one of only a tiny handful of laywomen in the world to hold both a theology doctorate licensed by the Holy See and a licentiate in canon law.
Among her awards are a 2023 Christopher Award for Father Ed and a 2017 Excellence in Publishing Award from the Association of Catholic Publishers for Remembering God's Mercy.

Twomey, S.J., for the University of Notre Dame Press, and has started an online newsletter, Matters Twomey, offering previews of her research.
