My stories are written conceptually to broach serious subjects sensitively with wit. I am an advocate of lifelong learning in the field of education. I work to create visually joyful stories with thought provoking messages. My ageless and gender-neutral characters are for adult and child readers to see themselves in the story and make text to self connections.
I was inspired to write my debut picture book, Upside Down at the beach with my children during the Covid 19 Pandemic.
I live in Boca Raton, Florida with my family.
Upside Down is a story of perseverance through a time of great disruption. In the face of change, rising anxiety can be crippling.
Drawing on the healing power of nature, our innate curiosity, and positive self talk, Upside Down positively navigates through a disaster, leading us to keep an open mind, embracing that which we cannot change.
