ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

In the Beginning

Psychology has always been my passion. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve utilized my professional experience working with families and my personal experience to create stories and characters for young children.

While growing up, I enjoyed all kinds of activities but especially loved to read. I still love reading except that there isn’t as much time for it these days since I’m a busy mom. The types of books I have enjoyed over the years have varied from teen thrillers to romance and Star Wars to Harry Potter.  For many years now, I’ve focused more on the board and picture books I have read to my little ones.

My Journey from Mom to Picture Book Author

I became inspired to create my first book, “3 P’s for Potty”, while my toddler was learning potty training. The cartoon character, Gia, was hand drawn by me and personally designed. “Food is Fun!” was created because Gia loves food, and well, who doesn’t?

Then it was time for Gia to meet new kids, so I created the book “Are We Friends”. Her new friends, Xavier and Iris were inspired by some friends I had as a young child and designed by me.

So, come along and join Gia as she learns and grows, and find out why this lovable character has become a favorite of children and parents alike.

Mom Gift Book Creator

The idea for “I Love Mom: A Beautiful Gift for Mothers to Treasure” had circled in my head for a while. I finally made it a reality in the spring of 2023. The idea of a quote book featuring children worldwide describing what they love about their moms sounded so wonderful. I plan to create more of these types of books in the future.
