By day, I write nonfiction. As a freelance writer with a focus on brand storytelling, I co-founded Tigermoth Creative and am part of a talented, full-service marketing communication team. Together, we craft story-driven creative for nonprofits and brands that inspire us. I also mentor aspiring writers and occasionally serve as an after-school creative writing instructor using the nationally recognized Writopia method.
By night, I bring to life the fictional characters that cross my mind. My novel, The Promise of Water, is represented by Elizabeth Copps at the Maria Carvainis Agency. Currently, I’m working on several short fiction pieces and a second novel, Cloudspotting.
