Professional Experience

"I am a well-published novelist and freelancer with positive reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, ALA Booklist and more. My journalistic interests and experience include lifestyle (women's interests, family, children, relationships, community, health and well being, parenting, life hacks, fashion and beauty), youth development, performing arts, entertainment business, diversity topics and women in business. I have ghostwritten across many genres. When I'm not writing, I enjoy working as a creative director of a lifestyle magazine for pre-teens, enjoying being a voice-over artist, enjoying nature and supporting the arts."
