Bio

I grew up in Suffern, NY and attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where I graduated with a BS degree in communication. 

I have lived in New Jersey, California, Tennessee, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Connecticut and currently resides in the beautiful town of New London, New Hampshire with my husband David, two children, Ethan and Kendra, an Au Pair named Iwi, two Rottweilers, and a cat named Mimi.

Currently, I'm in my second semester as an MFA Candidate in Writing for Young People at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

I occasionally contract  for technical writing assignments when the right opportunities arise and eventually plan on going back to work full time. 

But for now I'm concentrating on my love of writing for children. My main characters always sneak up on me and take me by storm. I love when one of them starts whispering to me, their voice gets stronger and louder the longer I ignore them. Until one day, they scream at me and I know it's time to pay attention to them and write their story.

Currently I'm working on middle grade and young adult novels.
