I’ll make this as short & sweet as I am can…

I grew up in a small town, serving pizza and chasing dreams. I now spend my days working as a Proposal Specialist for a construction company and the rest of my time reading, writing, planning my next trip, and discovering coffee shops in Ontario.

In 2010, with the encouragement of my closest friend, I created a blog called My Pen, My Voice. I treated this blog as a diary and documented all of the seemingly mundane things that happened in my early twenties. I wrote lifestyle posts, book reviews, essays, and product reviews. Although it is no longer active, this blog gave me the confidence to share my writing with others.

At the age of twenty-one I decided to self-publish a collection of poetry and prose. A few years later I self-published my first novel. Since then I’ve written and published several personal essays/blog posts about heartache, anxiety, OCD, and every other emotion I could put into words. I’m currently querying my third novel and in the research phase of my fourth.
