About

I've spent much of my life moving through stories. As a kid, I'd ride along to work with my dad, who would point out the window and ask me to make up a story. Whether it was a building, a stretch of road, or a stray animal, I always found something to imagine about it. In college, I trained in opera, which meant inhabiting the inner life of every character I sang. Every aria carried a story, not only for that character, but for the larger world around them.

Somewhere in my thirties, after years of collecting half-dreams and stray ideas in the notes app on my phone, I finally took one of them and started building a world of my own. What began as a private outlet quickly became something much bigger. I'd finished a book that afternoon, which left me in despair. By that night, I had an entire trilogy mapped out.

My debut novel lives in fantasy, but my imagination doesn't stay in one place. I'm drawn to romance, found family, hard-won belonging, and high stakes. I have more ideas than hours to write them, and I aim to get as many of them out of my head and into the world as I can, no matter the genre.

Outside of writing, you'll usually find me listening to an audiobook, rewatching a comfort sitcom, spending time with my partner and our dog, or thinking about the human-made magic in everyday life.
