About Me

---

I have loved creative writing since I was a kid, writing short stories and poetry. I love birds and animals, too, and wanted to combine these passions.

I was inspired to write Uplift, my debut novel, to give animals a voice and let readers "see" the world through their eyes. By telling an entertaining and engaging story, I hope it can inspire greater understanding and compassion for these creatures.

Being in nature is where I feel most at home, and it has been a lifelong source of joy and inspiration. I spend as much time as I can outdoors, hiking, camping, and on the water.

I have always been curious and enjoyed learning about the natural world, and this led me to co-found the Teton Valley chapter of Master Naturalists in 2023.
