Overview

I am an author, mentor, and public speaker. My readings are for kids from Pre-K to 2nd grade. (Ages 4-8). I am available for museum, school, library, and church visits. I am also available for special event appearances.

My story time is fun, engaging, educational, and memorable! What to expect: An author reading, book discussion, followed by a "Becoming An Author" segment, which details the process of creating characters, story boarding, and the publishing process, from idea to print. A Q & A follows. A lastly, a fill in the blank lesson sheet to review everything that we have learned for today.

About

I fell in love with reading at an early age and I hope to do the same for the younger generation.
I grew up in a small town in Alabama, and relocated to Los Angeles, where I've worked with nonprofit organizations such as Kids In the Spotlight, who focuses on teaching creative writing, and film production to kids in group homes, and Young Storytellers, a nonprofit organizations that focuses on giving kids in elementary school, the tools to write scripts from start to finish, and perform plays in front of a live audience.
I'm passionate about creating stories that promote self love, kindness, acceptance, love for all living things, and friendship.
