I am a writer and former museum educator.

When I was a child, I would sit in an apple tree and read and dream of being a writer. Now I am writing picture books and chapter books and even a story about a girl reading in an apple tree.

I like to write about nature, creativity, photography, food, and anything that inspires wonder and compassion. My characters often find their voice, achieve something no one thought they could, or discover the power of their imagination.

I believe everyone is creative. Throughout my career directing education programs at museums in New York City and Massachusetts, I enjoyed finding ways to connect audiences of all ages to art and their own creativity.

I earned an MFA in Fiction Writing from Columbia University and a BA from Brown University. An active member of SCBWI and 12x12, I also take courses in writing for children at Storyteller Academy and the Writing Barn.

When I am not writing, I am taking photographs, cooking, doing yoga, or walking in the mountains or by the sea. Most of all, I enjoy every second of being a mother. I live in the Berkshires with my wonderful daughter and our silver tabby Moonbeam.
