A Midwest girl born and raised, I live in a small Chicago suburb with my husband and three wild things, two of which I homeschool.

I write hope-filled YA fantasy inspired by pieces of my own messy story. Because sometimes we need reminding that light overcomes the dark, and that dragons can still be slain.

When I’m not writing or stepping on Legos, I indulge in affogatos and escape rooms. And when tornado sirens blare, you can find me in my front yard. Unless I’m in a Zelda boss fight.
