Hey, thanks for stopping by! Here's a bit

about Me

first, let's start with

My writing journey

I started pursuing traditional publishing in 2019, but writing has always been a part of my life.

When I received writing assignments in school, I’d create something way longer than the requirement. In eighth grade, I finished my first novel—a glorious trash-fire of a document. But I kept writing, going on to win local awards for my poetry and short stories. 

Loving writing so much made me feel like a bit of an oddity back then, but when I made my writing a priority, I discovered the wonderful community of writers online.  

From 2019 to 2021, I wrote three YA Fantasy novels. In 2022, my third novel, ICEHEART, was chosen by author Ivelisse Housman for the Author Mentor Match Program.

Her suggestions helped me realize that to create the story I wanted, I’d need to do more than revise. So, in 2022, I rewrote ICEHEART. I didn’t expect to face several Crohn’s disease flares during the process, but I was grateful to have the release of writing—and to be able to create a character with parts of my disability (the chronic pain and fatigue). 

In 2023, I wrote my first Adult Romcom, GUT FEELINGS, which includes my first main character with Crohn’s disease. I had a blast venturing into a new genre I’ve long loved. 

And here we are in 2024! I’m excited to announce I am now represented by the fabulous Rebecca Matte of Bradford Literary Agency for ICEHEART—and the rest to come.   

I’m also in the process of kicking off several new WIPs, which you can learn more about here
