MORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR?

A dedicated Author, Army Veteran, Social Worker, and Diversity Practitioner. Best known for “I Love My Daddy,” a heartwarming children's book about the special bond between a little girl and her father. I pursue to create more inclusive children's books that represent and have characters that mirror diverse children through the movement Diverse Children's Books Matter. 

 I graduated from the University of Maryland Baltimore with a degree in Social Work and hold certifications in Equal Employment Opportunity, Diversity and Inclusion, and Mediation. This gives me the unique ability to educate others on the importance of diversity and inclusivity.  Guiding me towards a fulfilling journey of educating and promoting these values  in children's books.

I'm particularly proud of the joy and admiration I see on the faces of children and parents when they read “I Love My Daddy.”  Outside of writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, bowling, and window shopping. I reside in Odenton, Maryland, with my husband Ian, daughter Zuri, and family dog Ivy, a Boston Terrier.
