About Me


I grew up as an animal-loving farm girl in rural Wisconsin, with a loving family and about as perfect a childhood as anyone can imagine. I am now a writer, wife, mother, friend, and volunteer living in Washington state with my husband, one empathetic daughter, one energetic son, one sweet old dog, one fickle young cat, two effusive guinea pigs, and some hardy fish.

My work has appeared in Faces, Know, Kono, WeeOnes, and ParentMap, and I am currently working on several nonfiction book projects while actively seeking work-for-hire assignments in fiction and nonfiction for grades K-5. I am also co-regional advisor for the Western Washington region of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).

Please feel free to download my resume and email me if you have any questions!
