I've been captivated by storytelling since my teenage years. This passion culminated into my debut novel, Drawing From the Void,  a YA fiction novel about a girl who embarks on a magical journey of  self-discovery. My writing is heartfelt, encouraging readers to  nurture meaningful relationships, embrace imperfections, and find magic in everyday life.

I was born  and raised in the Adirondack  Mountains. Now, I reside in Maine, with my husband and our two beloved cats, Captain Murphy Whiskerton III (Murphy) and Cheesecake (Cheese). By day, I work in Human Resources, but by night, I bring my imagination to life, crafting magical stories that reveal wonder in the mundane. Inspired by nature and driven by a passion for  animals, my creative voice shines in both my work and my life.

I have volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation, bottle-feeding porcupines, hand-feeding owlets, and even being bitten by a duck along the way.  Outside of writing, my creativity extends to hobbies like gardening, drawing, crocheting, and making up songs about my cats. 

Believing in the power of words to create change, my approach to writing and life is best described by Dr. Seuss in The Lorax: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better. It's not." I hope my storytelling reflects the power of  kindness and the impact of small but meaningful actions.
