I am the owner of Chrysalis Press, a publishing company dedicated to producing imaginative literature for children, teens, and young adults. I am also an author and illustrator, and have combined my talents for Chrysalis Press's latest release, Laura and the Leprechauns. Creative Writing and the arts have been long-time passions for me ever since early childhood. Chrysalis Press is based in Newport Beach, California. I love spending time with family and friends, and can usually be found writing, drawing, reading, painting, or spending time with children. I am a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, the National Association of Women Writers, the Publishers Marketing Association, the Small Publishers Association Network, the Small Publishers and Writers Network, and the Screen Actors Guild. I also enjoy volunteering at the Orange County Food Bank, an organization that provides meals for the homeless, the elderly, and those in need
