I write to nurture character through story. During my years as a teacher, I watched young minds and hearts awaken to the difference between kindness and cruelty, courage and fear, fairness and pride. Stories became a gentle way to explore those choices and to talk about what it means to do what’s right—even when it’s hard.

Now in retirement, I continue that mission through the written word. My stories highlight character qualities like courage, compassion, diligence, flexibility, trust, humility, teamwork, and joy. The early reader books include thoughtful discussion questions to help children reflect on what they’ve read. Guided journals expand personal discovery.
