Words have always been a comfort to me—writing, a place to process my feelings and express my creativity, and reading, a vehicle to new worlds that nurture my compassion and offer moments where someone has put into words exactly what I've struggled to express.

Stories are important because they remind us we are not alone. My heart in my work is to create those connections, to help others feel seen, to remind them they're loved and that they matter. I write to point others to the Hope that I hold and to craft stories that leave the reader with something to carry after the book has been returned to the shelf. Something that says I see you. You matter. Here is hope. Store it away for rainy days.

Faith is very important to me, and it’s near impossible for me to separate it from my work. That being said, you don't have to share my beliefs to belong here.
