NICE TO MEET YOU

I’m a mom, children’s book author and a freelance creative director & copywriter. I’ve built my career working for top advertising agencies and clients and strive to use my creativity for good––especially to empower women, mothers, and kids. I also partner with startups and brands to build their verbal identity, including naming, tone of voice, and overall messaging.

My first picture book, “Waiting for Max: A NICU Story” came out in October 2025, and is inspired by my son’s time in the NICU. It was praised by Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus and School Library Journal, NICU parents and professionals from Stanford, UCLA and more. It was also a #1 and #2 new release in multiple categories on Amazon. To help NICU families further, I’ve donated books to hospitals and charities across the country, and am donating a portion of the proceeds as well.

When I’m not writing, I love going for a run around the neighborhood, singing karaoke with friends, and reading to my two kids. Proudly born and raised in Cleveland, OH, I now live in Los Angeles, where I’m available for remote freelance work as well as writing my next books inspired by my fertility journey to have my daughter - more to come!
