I come from Southern California, where I was instilled with a deep love for sunshine, fresh fruit, and potted plants. As a lifelong reader and writer of stories, I have been deeply influenced by masters of luminous prose and fantastic worlds: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, Martha Wells, and more.
After achieving a degree in Creative Writing, I channel that passion both into hobbies such as tabletop roleplaying games, and my professional goal of becoming a bestselling author. In my spare time, I am a krav maga black belt, ambitious amateur baker, and Dungeons and Dragons game master. Currently I work as a technical writer and am pursuing Project Manager certification, all to support my cat’s lavish lifestyle and catnip habit.
