About Me
I’m an author and musician who tells stories in both books and music.
As an author, I write young adult fantasy and time-bending adventures rooted in heart, imagination, and emotional depth. My stories center on underdogs, courage, and resilience—worlds where hope matters and magic is never incidental.
As a musician, I create cinematic, emotionally driven music with poetic, story-forward lyrics. My songs are built like scenes—atmospheric, narrative, and designed to carry the same emotional weight as the stories I tell on the page.
I’m a graduate of Berklee College of Music, and my work as a singer-songwriter, composer, and voiceover artist has earned industry recognition, worldwide internet radio airplay, and licensing deals for film and television. I’ve written and voiced national and regional campaigns and released both novels and music that live at the intersection of story and sound.
Across every creative medium, my purpose remains the same: to uplift, inspire, and remind us that even in the most impossible circumstances, something extraordinary can emerge.

Authors and Musicians Who Inspire Me
JK Rowling
While I'm not a fan of her latest works, no one can deny her seven-part Harry Potter series is a force with which has yet to be reckoned in the history of YA literature. If you haven't yet read Harry Potter in full, you are seriously missing out! Incidentally, I'm sickeningly and irrevocably in love with Snape: the greasy, hook-nosed Potion's Master, turned Head Master, turned unsung hero.
Becca Fitzpatrick
I absolutely love the way Becca draws you into her world with the incredible depth of her imagery and smooth-talking bad boys. My favorite books from her are the Hush Hush Series, but I also enjoyed Black Ice and Dangerous Lies, even if her protagonists are a bit dense. I mean who would fall for a guy who admitted to wanting to murder you with a paring knife while you were cutting up taco fixings?
Tori Amos
Before I die, I want to meet and sing with this woman, not on stage, but in a private music room with her at the baby grand piano. She moves me unlike any other being on this planet. From "1000 Oceans," to "A Sorta Fairytale," to "Little Earthquakes," and more. She's the only entertainer/artist/writer I've ever shelled out money to hoard copies of every single one of her creations, including concert bootlegs.
Amy Kuney
This indie-pop artist, who now goes by the name of AMES, has earned my utmost respect as an independent artist with her catchy tunes, the vulnerable sound of her voice, and her whimsical melodies. She's battled many a demon along the way. I think that's why her work really resonates with me. It's real, it's raw, and it leaves you frantically googling her for more. She stays in your head long after her last note fades away.
