I am a Massachusetts native, and travel between the USA and the UK. I have a BFA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing, and a minor in Journalism, both from Emerson College in Boston, MA. 

Coming from a family of teachers, I have worked with children and teens almost my entire life, including as a daycare worker, babysitter, tutor, and as a kindergarten volunteer assistant teacher. I was also the co facilitator of the Young Critics Program at Glasgow Women’s Library, where I mentored young women in order to help them gain confidence in their writing and reviewing abilities.

I love writing, reading, singing, traveling, and cooking. I'm often found in the park walking with my (little) dog, Moose.

Writing is my main passion, and when I was in high school I had a creative writing teacher who changed the course of my life. He truly believed in us, he encouraged us, and he showed us that writing is full of possibilities!

Having support and feedback like that from a teacher (and your peers) has an incredible effect on confidence. It allows you to comfortably take chances and have fun with your writing, which in turn helps you grow into the writer you are meant to be. There are so many amazing stories inside all of us, just waiting to be explored!
