My Story

I took a long time to get here, in my writer’s skin, out in the open.

I’ve been an artist since childhood: a vivid daydreamer who loved stories.

I grew up creating art with my hands, a love for performance, and notebooks full of stories.

For years, I stood neck to neck with two passions: writing and the stage.

I studied creative writing through college, earning a bachelor’s in English.

But after graduation, the stage called louder.

I became a professional belly dancer in New York City.

Built my own company and spent twenty years performing, swords, veils, fire and living a life full of people and their stories. The only time I competed in a dance competition, I came home with a trophy (that was wild). But I loved my craft. I loved teaching classes, setting up shows and connecting with people. I still love being in a dance studio alone to capture the expression of music. The stories each song tells. On stage, I still feel that fire. And although I still do this occasionally, my life took a different direction...

Then came family. Motherhood. And yet, the stories in my head only grew.

By 2023, it was time. I committed to the novels I’d been carrying for decades. Seven months later, I finished my first full-fledged book, a fantasy sci-fi I never imagined writing. And once the gates opened, there was no stopping it.

My long riders (the Fav 4), the characters who’ve been with me from the very beginning, demanded their stories.
Decades of creating imaginative worlds. All inspired by the places, and people I met over the years. Everything I’ve lived, seen, and heard, all pour into these pages. I come from humble beginnings. I moved a lot as a child. I’ve worked for everything. And now I’m standing on my own two feet, finally owning the wild, relentless storyteller I am.

This is me.
