About Me

For as long as anyone can remember, I had a book in my hands. During the summer of my third grade year, I read every book in the Library's children's section A to Z.  

​

I loved to write, make up stories, and create elaborate treasure hunts and maps for my brother and sister. So I went to college and wrote for four years to earn a degree in English and Political Science. Then I took my love of writing and telling stories to Law School.

​

I'm passionate about using picture and chapter books to make reading and nature fun for children. And I also love photographing animals and nature.

​

I live with my two amazing Pixiebob roomates.

I love connecting kids to nature through stories, photographs, and hikes.
