A Little About Me.

I'm a lover of words. I've been writing for as long as I can remember--poetry, novels, essays, and plays. My primary focus is on writing for young adults--trying to be a beacon in a confusing and difficult world. Since 2016, I've been a part of Ninja Writers, helping other writers develop their craft and find their voices. I'm also a former query intern for Pam Pho, a literary agent at D4EO Literary Agency. 

I also write essays on Medium. My posts are diverse and range from writing advice and instruction, to talking about my own struggles with mental health. I am also a part of the Serial Killers, a cohort group focused on publishing serial fiction in 2022. Sign up to follow that on my Substack.

I was born and raised in Whittier, California, but currently live in Warren, Pennsylvania. ​
