About the Author

​

While growing up in a tiny town in southern New Jersey, where farmland

is everywhere and things for teenagers to do is limited, I began writing.

After school, I would run home to update the latest chapter of my

fan fiction on Quotev and brainstorm upcoming plot points.

One could say that I started writing when I was fourteen and never stopped! 

​

After high school, I attended my local community college and received

my A.S. in Business Administration in 2017. Community college

was an invaluable piece of my story that I would choose every time.

In 2019, I received my B.S. in Marketing with honors from

Wilmington University. Then, in 2020 (ugh) I started my master's

program at Pace University in New York City where I graduated with

my M.S. in Publishing in 2022.

 

Shortly before I graduated from Pace, I received an email that my thesis paper on the strides academic publishers and college bookstores are making to reduce the cost of educational material would be published in Springer's Publishing Research Quarterly. Roughly six months after that, I received a contract from World Castle Publishing to publish my first novel, which I began writing my first semester at Pace.

​

To put it simply, Pace University changed everything for me in 2022. 

​

Today, I live in New Jersey with four cats and am surrounded by my family and friends, with a writing career that is doing well. What more could I ask for?

Holding my debut novel in my hands for the first time was something I will never forget. Seeing it next to a classic like The Chronicles of Narnia was even more unreal.
