I was born into a family of poets and publishers, writing teachers and artists, so of course I took my education and… owned a bar for ten years.

But you can’t escape the strange signs that life sends your way. I have my Certificate in Documentary Filmmaking from George Washington University, where I stayed up late hours with my friend picking at our script. I received my Masters in Public Health, and focused on communications. I spent way too many hours writing and editing menu item descriptions for anyone else to even care. All before I opened my laptop and began to write fiction.

And now, I spend my free time reading and writing, growing an indoor jungle (and failing at an outdoor one) and annoying my various human and animal family members until they feed me (wait a minute…).
