I've always been a lover of books. I've written stories since I was a child with a very active imagination. I read and wrote everything I could get my hands on. As a child, when everyone was outside playing, I was in a corner with a book.

 

Fast forward several years, after majoring in Journalism in college, and pursuing a professional career in corporate marketing, I always felt what I call a soul-pull to write stories. I started out just noodling on my commute to work with my laptop, with an idea for a romance novel.  It blossomed into my first self-published e-book Moving On.

​

In November 2018, I self-published my first Children's book - Polly Pear. Soon after that I created companion activity books Write With Polly Pear, and Color with Polly Pear.

​

In March 2021, after an unprecedented year in 2020, I published a children's book focused on explaining the benefits of wearing a mask to kids, When We All Wear A Mask - available everywhere books are sold.

​

 In July 2021, I published Unstoppable Zee - a fresh new story that empowers girls to believe in themselves. And in November of 2021 I published My Day With Grandma.

​

In February of this year, My Day With Grandma was selected by Stamford, CT public schools to be included in every K-3rd grade classroom in the entire school district and I couldn't be more proud.

 

I find so much fulfillment in writing. I wish everyone who wants to be a writer the confidence to just begin - and see where the journey takes you.

With Love,
