I used to write for adults. Now I write for children.

I’ve also worked as a grade school teacher, a reporter, a grocery store clerk, and a barista, but my favorite job is being the mother of a very cool boy.

My writing has been featured in The Sun, Bust, High Five, Highlights, Wanderlust, the Vail Daily and the Des Moines Register, among others. I graduated from the University of Colorado-Boulder with a B.A. in Sociology, a B.S. in Journalism, and a M.A. in Social, Multicultural, and Bilingual Foundations of Education.
