ABOUT ME
I love telling stories.
As a creative professional, I have experience within the content writing, educational publishing, and design industries.
For several years, I worked as a children’s book author, book designer, and illustrator for an educational publishing company. I was also a content writer for a diverse portfolio of clients, writing content articles and web copy. In addition, I help indie authors self-publish books through professional editorial and book design services.
In my spare time, I write Speculative Fiction, Romance novels, and short stories for YA and adult audiences.
Beyond writing, I enjoy illustrating. I started drawing using traditional materials and gradually taught myself to use digital tools and programs.
I’m a paid website geek by day, managing a portfolio of websites and designing and improving user experience (UX).
