I'm a writer and teacher with my feet rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and my heart in the gardens of England.

Throughout my career as an educator, author, and creative leader, I have harnessed the power of story to build communities centered on empathy and belonging. Whether I am crafting a whimsical picture book, guiding students in my ESL classroom, or helping build community organizations, my core goal remains the same: to create warm, inviting spaces for learning, creativity, and connection.
