My greatest joy comes from writing and creating. I’m the proud author of The Untapped Advantage, a book that helps young adults master essential etiquette skills. I also wrote Kitchen Counter Superfoods and the children’s book Bear the Brave Blind Dog, a story inspired by my own beloved pet.
My work is supported by a Bachelor’s in Business Marketing and a Master’s in Adult Education, but it’s fueled by a genuine desire to connect, teach, and contribute to the world.
