I'm glad you're here. I've been writing stories in my head for years, and I'm excited to finally share them with you.

My love for storytelling started in my teens when I discovered fanfiction—a natural evolution after devouring Sweet Valley High, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Harry Potter. Those books taught me that stories could be comfort, escape, and connection all at once.

Now I'm writing my first series, Chicago Love Stories, following four couples through whirlwind romances in the Windy City. My debut novel, Loving You is a Bad Idea, is currently being queried and the second in the series is in WIP.

When I'm not daydreaming about fictional couples or writing their happily-ever-afters, I'm a full-time UX lead and mom to a toddlersaurus rex who keeps me grounded in reality (mostly).
