I am excited to announce that my debut novel, BE LITTLE, is coming soon, so be on the lookout.    While attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, I signed up to be a Supplemental Instructor. That put me in a position to help college students learn how to learn. Many students approached me and told me that their grades had improved dramatically.  During my time in Charlotte, I also volunteered to be a mentor and a lunch buddy. I smile when I think about the positive influence I had on those younger students, and, yes, the positive influence they had on me. In addition to the novel, I have written several picture books. I am a two-time AAU National Sparring Champion, a real estate agent with Hunt ERA, and hold a master’s degree in Education from Syracuse University. Most of all, I am passionate about writing for children. It brings great joy to my life.
