My Mission

I believe that stories have the power to bridge the gap between personal mindfulness and collective action. Whether it's through a children's tale about a pig who dreams of flying or a guide to the power of gratitude, my goal is to inspire an appreciation for the beauty of the world around us.

The Professional Path

• Veteran Publisher: Former Director of Book Publishing for the American Bar Association and Vice President for IDG Books (the original home of the For Dummies series!). I don't just write books; I understand the soul of the industry.

• Award-Winning Author: Creator of award-winning titles like Pigs Have Wings, The Star Thrower, and Be WHOO You Are.

• Meditation Coach: A certified practitioner focused on bringing gratitude and calm to a busy world.

•Manager at AKA Books: Cultivating creativity and mindfulness with coloring books, puzzle books, and quote books.

When I'm Not Writing...

You can find me walking the beaches of Lake Michigan, observing the local wildlife, and practicing the very mindfulness I write about. I live by the belief that we all have our own way to shine and just have to believe in our own wings.
