As a kid, I loved stapling blank sheets of paper together to write and illustrate my very own picture books. My passion for writing and creativity continued into adulthood as an elementary school teacher. Whenever I couldn't find the right reading material for my students, I would simply write it myself.
I began officially working with children's books in 2015 when I helped launch Blue Sneaker Press, an imprint of Southwestern Publishing House. In 2018, after twenty years in education, I left the classroom to work full-time writing, editing, and publishing children's books and educational curriculum.
I graduated from Pomona College with a degree in Art History and from San Diego State University with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. When I'm not writing, you can find me working in my pottery studio or in my garden in San Diego, California, where I live with my family.
