Welcome, and thank you for being here.

I’m a storyteller who believes deeply in the power of words to comfort, inspire, and connect. After losing my younger brother, I felt a strong calling to write stories that help children feel safe, seen, and supported. Through my work, I hope to gently encourage young readers to speak up, ask for help when they need it, and discover the strength they carry inside.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or young reader yourself, I hope you find something here that speaks to your heart.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
