My love for storytelling blossomed during my childhood, inspired by the enchanting worlds of The Chronicles of Narnia, the adventurous escapades of the Famous Five, and the clever mysteries crafted by Agatha Christie. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of books and spent many hours dreaming up my own stories, starting with a very ambitious (and not quite completed) whodunit novel in first grade. These experiences shape my writing today, as I aim to create fantastical and mysterious adventures that resonate with young readers.
Beyond writing, I have a strong interest for tennis! Whether as an instructor for young players or sharing the court with friends, tennis inspires my sense of play and teamwork, qualities I weave into my tales of adventure.
As a grown-up, I’ve enjoyed nurturing young minds through teaching. Engaging with schoolchildren of various ages fuels my creativity and deepens my understanding of what makes a story truly enchanting for young readers.
Meet my two beloved dogs! They fill my days with joy and inspiration.Their playful energy and constant devotion motivate me in my writing, reminding me that the best stories are about friendship and connection.
