She completed her Bachelors in Psychology at the University of Florida. She worked in social work for a few years, before making a career change to early elementary education. She has taught for over thirteen years.She is currently working on her second novel, A Girl in the Water. These days, she lives with her husband and two children in her home town just two houses down from her mother.

Nurturing her love for writing by night, she labors to create a balanced life of work, family, and reaching for her dream of being a writer.
