When I’m not writing stories, I’m dreaming up new adventures, laughing with kids, and sometimes eating way too many sunflower seeds . Here are a few fun facts about me!"

📚 I’ve been teaching since I was 17 years old — that’s more than half my life spent with amazing kids!

  1. ✈️ I love traveling and learning languages. I’m working on Spanish and French so I can write books in all three languages for my readers.

  2. 🎶 I write sometimes write with music playing — sometimes gospel, sometimes Disney songs, sometimes a little Christian R&B!

  3. ✍🏾 My very first book idea came to me when I was only 19 years old.

  4. 🌈 Sassy Sapphire (from Seriously, Mom?!) is inspired by my real life!

  5. 🧮 My favorite subject is math—puzzles, patterns, and problem-solving make me smile.

  6. 🍕 Pizza is my all-time favorite food. Kids usually agree with me on that one!

  7. 🐴 I love horses. I’ve seen lots of them up close (and even petted a few!), but I’ve never ridden one… yet.
