Ever since I was a little girl, I've been drawing and creating stories in my head. My bedroom was filled to the brim with picture books, and one of my fondest memories as a child was going to the library with my mom to pick out more.

​

I'm inspired by stories that transcend age, art that engages both child and parent, and lessons that will stay with the reader into adulthood. Some illustrators who have influenced me are Patricia Polacco, Rebecca Green, Melissa Castrillion, and Coralie Bickford-Smith.
