I grew up loving stories of all kinds, and was telling and writing my own from a young age. I decided early on that I wanted to be an author so I could keep doing exactly that with my life. Later in elementary school, I heard about a high schooler who published her book, and that sparked a dream: to be published before I turned eighteen.

I first published a book at sixteen—a novel I had mostly written when I was fourteen. Since then, I’ve poured countless hours into my writing. I published the book I had just finished when The Monster’s Cave was released at the end of 2025, and now, in 2026, I’m thrilled to share the duology I wrote last year.

Bringing my stories to life has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I’m so grateful to be living my dream.

Some random facts about me:

• Along with my writing, I’m a dancer going into my 13th season, and I’ve also added some acting to the mix starting back in 2019.
• I’m the oldest of five children. We happen to make a very interesting house.
• I’ve been homeschooled since I was in 3rd grade, minus my freshman year of high school. (I’m a senior now!)
• I have a big love for music and songwriting—I began writing my own lyrics when I was nine.
• I am emotionally attached to more fictional people than I would like to admit.
• I like to act like a cool person, but there’s a high chance I’m watching a Disney princess movie right now.
