Children's Author & Illustrator
About me

Hi there! I'm a picture book author and illustrator living in the Seattle area. My work is inspired by the countless interactions I've had with kids after 20 wonderful years as a classroom teacher and my experience growing up as a biracial army brat. My goal is to make books that amuse, intrigue, and inspire children of all ages.
Look out for my upcoming book with author Katherine Pryor: HOME IS CALLING (August 2023 2023). You can also check out HOW TO HUG A PUFFERFISH and SCHOOL IS WHEREVER I AM (Roaring Brook 2022) and the Joulia Copernicus Book Series from Boyds Mills Kane: IT'S A ROUND, ROUND WORLD! and THE REASON FOR THE SEASONS. I'm also the illustrator of BEA'S BEES, written by Katherine Pryor.
I'm the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion coordinator for the Western Washington chapter of SCBWI and a member of The Broadstrokes, an all-female illustration critique group.
I'm represented by Adria Goetz of KT Literary.
