Who am I?

When I’m not writing, I serve full time as the Children’s Education Director at a church in Southern California. I earned a communications degree with a theatre emphasis from Azusa Pacific University, then worked behind the scenes for Christian radio stations in Los Angeles. Books include Stories From the Sidelines and The Other Three Sixteens, published by Ambassador International, and the self-published activity-filled devotional, Bible Time for Active Kids. Additionally, I’ve been a commercial copywriter and written various faith-based stage plays. I live by the beach with my pup, Yoshi, and often create art, read, or explore the many adventures to be found in our neighborhood and beyond.

You can find The Other Three Sixteens here .

Stories From the Sidelines will be released on September 24th, 2024!

You can also get Bible Time for Active Kids for the little ones in your life (it’s great for elementary and middle school) here.

(These are my Bookshop affiliate links, but both books are also available at your favorite book seller.)
