My mission as a writer is to craft stories that offer hope and an escape to those navigating life’s darkest moments. Through the power of imagination, I aim to inspire resilience, spark wonder, and remind readers that they are never alone. Stories saved me, and I write to repay that gift by creating a sanctuary of hope and possibility for others.

When I was a girl, I was gifted the purple umbrella of imagination.

I lost it somewhere in the expectations of growing up.

One day, sorting through childhood’s baggage, I found it again.

Right where I left it, under the sprinkler, beneath the apricot tree.
