I am a two-time, award-winning author and former television development executive who loves to write lovable, multicultural, middle grade and young adult characters with a talent for getting themselves into trouble. Having worked in TV & Film, education, and tech, I love to push the boundaries of story in order to create worlds that young people can not only lose themselves in, but also learn from. My stories, although fiction, always incorporate elements of history, culture, or social commentary.
In my spare time, I collect vintage posters, explore all the wonders that Oregon has to offer, hang out with friends and family, and watch way, WAY too much television.
