Raised by parents who were excellent storytellers, I have a passion for crafting stories that ignite children’s imaginations and inspire fresh ideas. I am a member of the 12 x 12 Picture Book Challenge; the Manuscript Academy; the Writing Barn’s Verge program and SCBWI. My children, their families, and a supportive circle of friends are the heart of my life. Additionally, I work as an ESL tutor, am an amateur at Tai Chi, and enjoy planning my next journey. Fun fact: I attended seven different schools before college, which has fueled my sense of curiosity!
