My full story is too long to share here, but this is what matters most: I was a teacher, and I’ve always been passionate about the art of teaching, the lessons we pass on, and the creativity and curiosity that make childhood special.

​

Though I’m no longer in the classroom, I’m still working in education and creating ways for teachers to blend positive messages with their curriculum. I always dreamed of writing children's books, but I didn’t chase that dream until my daughter was born in 2019. Feel Love Give Love started as a poem I whispered to her as a baby, and turning it into a book became a healing process for me when I began experiencing postpartum distress.

​

Now, I’m stepping back into that creative power—republishing a fuller version of that book and bringing to life more stories I’ve imagined since then. Fun, heartfelt poems and stories about self-love, confidence, empathy, and more are on the way! I’d love for you to join me on this journey.
