About Me

Hello! Thank you for visiting my site :) 

A little about me: 

My favorite color is mustard—also my favorite condiment. I love the smell of bookstores and basements. My favorite treats are buttered popcorn and ice cream (preferably at the same time). I think awkward handshakes are hilarious. And my ultimate dream is to one day adopt a small army of senior beagles. 

I was a 2024 "PB Rising Stars" Mentee, a 2024 "PBParty" Finalist, and my work has been published in Highlights High Five Magazine. I am the 2025 Nonfiction winner of the Ann Whitford Paul and Writer's Digest Most Promising Picture Book Manuscript Award. My memberships include: 12x12, the Association of Professional Humane Educators, the Wisconsin Writer's Association, and SCBWI. Erzsi Deàk represents me at Hen&ink Literary Studio.
