A little about me
I am a writer passionate about enriching young people's lives. Although life has taken me on many paths, none have taken me away from my love of the written word.
I grew up reading by flashlight long after bedtime and began writing the stories I wanted to read as a curious 6th grader. My love of books and the way words can connect people has always remained strong. My book, The Independents, celebrates middle-grade readers everywhere who face life's daily challenges, find strength and comfort with one another, and learn that they are not alone.
“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
