Welcome! I am a novelist and writer based in the Pacific Northwest. While I’m currently deep in the process of writing my first novel, my love of writing didn’t start at a novelist’s desk. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been someone who has the need to write things down. There’s nothing like the sight and smell of fresh ink on the page – whether through poetry, essays, or simply capturing the details of everyday life. My daily writing routine is where the magic happens, shaping ideas into long-form fiction one word at a time.
My writing background includes publishing articles for the non-profit organization, The Borgen Project, composing newsletters, and managing social media content. Outside of writing, my professional experience is in healthcare administration and small business organization and support. Managing those practical, real-world details taught me to be highly organized, observant, and most of all curious. Tools I use daily as I build the stories from the blueprint in my mind.
When I’m not writing, I am managing a busy household with my supportive, wonderful husband and three kids, tending to my garden, socializing with my friends, or lost in paradise through the portal of a great book.
