I'm an author, writer, and speaker who loves helping people through creative expression. I've published five books since 2012, some now out of print. Each book has taught me something new and improved my writing. 

Everything you want is on the other side of fear, outside your comfort zone. But to grow and evolve as a writer so I can do this full-time, I have to expand my boundaries and do what may be uncomfortable at first. 

I hope to become a better writer and create content people love to read by interacting with you on Wattpad. The thought of sharing my work publicly as it's written terrifies me; that's how I know this is the next step on my journey. 

I'm a glass half full, silver lining kinda gal. I'm an interesting mix of modern woman and old-fashioned values. I like to laugh, have fun, and drink an occasional glass of Moscato with friends. 

I see life as an adventure, experimenting with new possibilities to see what works. If not, I try something different. 

I love the beauty and power of words; to evoke emotion, inspire thought, and spark images. If I hit a wall when I'm writing, I clear my head by patting my dog, going for a walk, or visiting the beach.  

My favourite quote is "Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By The Moments That Take Our Breath Away."
