I am an alum­na of The Col­orado Insti­tute of Art in Den­ver Col­orado. I worked in pub­lish­ing at a news­pa­per for over a decade and have owned two suc­cess­ful com­pa­nies. My work has includ­ed writ­ing, art, and design.

A series of pic­ture books, about the amaz­ing traits of ani­mals, is now out in Dutch with Eng­lish com­ing Novem­ber 2024 with Clavis Publishing.

I am an active mem­ber of SCBWI and am a pri­or vol­un­teer leader of the Con­nect & Cri­tique held in Col­orado Springs.  I enjoy events held through the Rocky Moun­tain SCBWI and attend the SCBWI Let­ters & Lines writ­ing con­fer­ences in Gold­en, Col­orado (or on-line).
