Hello

Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, I ventured out to study at the University of Dayton, where I earned degrees in marketing and international business management. Now back in Chicago, I apply my expertise as a marketing manager for a company specializing in publishing, media, and B2B marketing.

​

My passion for writing ignited at the age of six, though my grasp on grammar didn’t solidify until high school. With limited formal English education before then, I honed my skills through reading. It was in high school that my confidence blossomed, thanks to a supportive teacher who encouraged me to submit my work to Teen Ink Literary Magazine. This led to receiving four Editor's Choice Awards and having two of my pieces published in their print magazine.

​

At eighteen, I completed my first novel, swiftly followed by its sequel a year later. Since then, I’ve penned seventeen more manuscripts, delving into the worlds of Young Adult & New Adult Fantasy and Adult Contemporary Romance.

​

In September 2021, I self-published my debut novel, From the Shadows, followed by its companion novella, Through the Flames, in May 2022. June 2022 saw the publication of one of my short stories in an anthology, and by November, I released another novel, Legacy of the Night. Legacy quickly garnered recognition, being selected as one of twenty Indie Romance Award Nominees in the fantasy category. In 2023, another short story was featured in an anthology, and in 2024, I published my first two romance novels, bringing my total to seven published works in just three years. My first published romance novel, Starstruck, peaked at #37 on the Amazon rankings.

When I’m not immersed in writing, you can find me savoring coffee, attending concerts and comic conventions, exploring diverse cuisines, and discovering new music on Spotify.
