Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.
-Earl Nightingale
About
Based in Seattle, Washington, I’m a writer who loves crafting stories about traumatic concepts and the messy humans who tackle them. I’m a life-long lover of learning and creativity, believing every life experience has the capacity to teach us more about ourselves and the world around us. I incorporate this philosophy into my writing and lace it with artistic flair, exploring the emotions behind the experiences. My stories focus on understanding the human condition yet displaying my love for a good plot twist.
My journey into writing was a long time coming. After being told in high school I was “too smart for art,” I spent a great deal of time avoiding anything creative. Then, I stumbled onto photography and finally gave myself permission to explore my artistic nature. This led to an Associates degree in Theatre, painting sales spanning the globe, and, at last, a writing career. I have a degree in English – Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and am a member of the Pacific Northwest Writers Association (PNWA). I’m a published poet, have written and produced two middle-grade plays, and worked as a staff writer and editor for a local magazine. When not writing, you can find me lounging near evergreens with my current read, sipping a single-malt scotch.
