Hi!

I began writing as a student at Pepperdine University, where I experimented in everything from screenwriting and playwriting to poetry and journalism. Four years later and several finished pieces under my belt, I was awarded the Outstanding Creative Writer of 2004 by my professors and graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Communications, Creative Writing.

​Today, I enjoy exploring my imagination daily. I live in Los Angeles with my amazingly supportive husband, Alejandro, an adorable parakeet, Geronimo, and maltipoo, Moby. Free time together = city walking, coffee house exploring, new food finding, and red wine tasting. Free time alone  = writing, reading, and imagining. Currently, I'm working as a freelance writer and author of middle-grade novels.
