About me!

I’m an author, freelance writer, blogger, and single mom to three incredible sons.

A born and raised New Yorker, who by way of life’s serendipitous twists and turns, in 2008, with my three sons in tow, relocated to Southern California and hit the reset button on my life.

My journey as a writer began when I was given the opportunity to write an online celebrity blog for the newspaper, where I worked as the executive assistant to the executive editor.

Since then, I began a personal blog, and wrote three books. The first It Could Be Magic… how the music of Barry Manilow changed my life, chronicles the transformative power of music in my life.

The second is a heartwarming children’s tale, Baby Bear’s Christmas Dream, inspired by my eldest son’s cherished teddy bear.

My latest literary endeavor—Love Later… a love story—marks my debut in the world of romance novels, with many more exciting projects on the horizon.

When I’m not immersed in words, and establishing Theodore Publishing—my publishing company for independent authors—I’m a local support coordinator for international students.

Upbeat by nature, optimistic, empathetic, sometimes goofy and always seeking bliss, I spend my free time reading, exploring museums, and attending live entertainment, and strolling through cities, which inspire my passion to write.

Above all, nothing brings me more joy than spending quality time with my sons.

An ever hopeful romantic. I embrace the journey to find my own ‘love later’, and won’t stop until I find my one!

Please give my books some love, email and connect with me on most social media platforms, and explore my blog—I’ll be adding a newsletter soon.

I look forward to hearing from you.
