WHAT I WRITE
Picture Books
I have always been drawn to humour. I truly believe that humour can reach even the most reluctant readers. It is why I fell in love with reading as a child. I write picture books with humour and heart, lyrical picture books, and character-driven stories with a focus on social-emotional learning. I have also been exploring metafiction. I have manuscripts that deal with chronic illness, mental health, and speech challenges. Fun fact about me: I love superheroes and the farm, which led me to write several manuscripts featuring them. Including my early chapter book.
Novel in verse
I am working on a middle-grade novel in verse that discusses post-traumatic stress disorder—something that I am very passionate about.

Fun Facts
I was tongue tied until I was 21 years old.
Despite being fixed, I often still get asked where I am from due to my unique speech.
Though my speech challenge is different, this book made me cry. It is absolutely beautiful.
I Talk Like a River by Jordan Scott
Illustrated by Sydney Smith
I have been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for 11 years.
If I were a book (or two) I would be..
I still can't believe that it has been eleven years already. Fighting MS is like riding a rollercoaster. There are lots of ups and downs, but I always try to stay positive.
I wrote a manuscript to explain everything about my invisible illness to my daughter and guess what?
It became a real book!

The Hundred-Year Barn

These two books represent everything that I believe in and grew up with.
Hard work * Family * Farm
