I grew up on TV shows like X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Files, and later... movie franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter, as well as anything "based on a true story."
​
In high school, I became so fascinated by Shakespeare, that I wrote my own fanciful story in iambic pentameter. It was exactly as you might imagine, but it showed me how much I loved creating new worlds from which to tell stories.
​
My characters, regardless of genre, are pained in some way, often facing issues of guilt, regret, identity, and the pursuit of second chances. The simultaneous fragility and power of hope is a dichotomy I love to examine through my characters.
​
I love to write, more and more every day. Storytelling provides us with an escape, but my favorite thing-- the thing that inspires me to write-- is it gives us a chance to further develop our most important human gift... EMPATHY.
