About Me
Welcome! I write fantasy for children and young adults, and I'm passionate about all things related to myths and fairy tales. Based in Vancouver, Canada, I studied Creative Writing and Children's Literature at the University of British Columbia. When not reading and writing, I tutor elementary and high school students in language arts and drama. I also enjoy tying knots, visiting museums, and long walks on the beach that end with ice cream!
