Children's author, creativity coach, speaker, teacher, passionate about supporting writers, education, the arts, and kids! I love school author visits, teaching writing, and partnering with creative people to support them in living out their dreams, adding more joy and maybe a little more income to their lives. I've been a past classroom and music teacher, school media specialist/librarian, continuing education instructor, Orff-Schulwerk specialist, choral director, singer, and lover of books, especially kidlit, YA, and writing books. I frequently present at writing and education conferences as well as writing residencies, Young Author celebrations, library programs, and K-12 schools and teacher preparation programs.
