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 also have experience as a content writer, writing articles and website copy for a diverse portfolio of clients. In addition, I have helped indie authors self-publish books with 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.

My current full-time profession is managing a portfolio of nonprofit websites and designing and improving user experience (UX).
