Born and raised under the sunny skies of Arizona, I’ve always had a book in hand and a love for stories. My passion for reading led me to a degree in teaching, where I’ve spent 15 (and counting) years in the classroom.

My love story began like something out of a rom-com—I stalked my husband through a Jack in the Box drive-thru in high school until a mutual friend finally made the introduction. We’ve been inseparable ever since, married for nearly 20 of our 26 years together. Our beautiful daughter may look just like her dad, but she’s all me on the inside.

When I’m not teaching 7th graders English and Literature, you can find me tucked away in my cozy library, highly caffeinated and plotting new love stories full of love and light. My debut romance novel Until Then will be released February 5th, 2025.
