Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. I am a freelance children’s author and an experienced educator who has taught students ranging from preschoolers to community college. For most of my career, I taught children in Grades 2, 4, and 6.

I have also written curriculum and served on our school district’s Young Author Committee, which encouraged young people as writers and helped bring in published authors to inspire them. I currently direct a mentoring program for elementary aged children, Kids Hope USA.

I am an SCBWI member and served on the Board of SCBWI: Northern Ohio from 2011-2021.

I write fiction, nonfiction, and crafts for children. Naturally, writing for the education market is also an interest. Whether teaching, mentoring, or writing, I like to help miracles happen in the lives of children.
