A Writer for Women
I am dedicated to writing stories and essays that empower women. My home is in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in Sacramento, California, but also spent four years of my childhood in England where I discovered a love of reading and writing. I’ve been writing poetry and stories ever since.
My debut novel: Learning to Whistle: A Novel will be published by She Writes Press in April, 2026. It will be distributed by Simon & Schuster.
