Independently Published
My debut picture book, Marnie and the Floating Thoughts, will be released by Lyrebird Books in May 2026.
Marnie is brilliant, full of great ideas, and eager to please. But she has a problem: Her ideas like to float away before she can carry them out.
Illustrated by Maya Brown, Marnie and the Floating Thoughts is a whimsical and accessible entry point for young children (ages 3-8) and their caregivers to learn about executive dysfunction, a common symptom of ADHD, autism, and many other conditions. It includes resources and information for caregivers about executive functioning and ADHD, co-written with a children’s mental health professional.
Seeking a Home
I have several manuscripts that are waiting for the right publisher to provide them with a home on bookshelves across the country. Please reach out if you're interested in helping me make these a reality.

Dealing with the tizzies
Tazzy is an energetic and friendly puppy who is challenged by anxiety when her family makes a big move. With the help of friends new and old, Tazzy learns techniques for managing her awful tizzies. Tazzy in a Tizzy is an accessible starting point for young children and their caregivers to talk about change, anxiety, and some of the ways we can ask for and provide support, alongside their curious, lovable new friend Tazzy.
What's in a name?
How does a puppy learn its name? A recently adopted dog who calls himself RRRUFFFF tries to please his family by learning his new name as quickly as possible. The challenge turns out to be more difficult than he expects. Told from RRRUFFFF’s whimsical point of view, Heyzack! highlights the relationship between a kid and their pet. His playful, lyrical voice is one that both parents and kids will enjoy reading over and over.

Magic in the everyday
Our unnamed narrator gives the reader a tour of the seemingly innocuous items in their home that hold memories the eye could never see. Hidden Treasures is a story about discovery, creativity, and love. I envision this story as one teachers use in their classrooms to guide a one-of-a-kind show-and-tell for young students, and that families use to share memories across generations.
