I was a weird kid, and now I’m a weird adult — and I like it that way.
When I was six, I was clacking away on my mom’s giant college typewriter, writing the first of many (many) stories. I ran around pretending to be a fairy protecting the forest, talked to myself out loud for advice (still do), and collected hobbies like other kids collected pogs (dated myself here; don’t care). Over the years, I’ve been a musician, an ADHD coach, a humorist, an author, a witch, a mother, a wife, and a friend.
For years, I felt like I had to pick one identity for people to know me by. I’m getting older, and I ain’t got the energy for that, so you get all of me.
I’ve been writing fiction since that fairy-protecting phase, and I’m now working on my soon-to-be-released debut novel. I’ve lived with ADHD all my life (diagnosed in 2021), and I share what I’ve learned to help fellow different-brained people build lives that actually work for them.
Stuff like this usually has achievements in it, so here’s the quick list:
Published SHAME ON YOU: Big Truths from a Bad Mom (2020) — a collection of humorous essays about parenting.
Named one of HuffPost’s Funniest Parents (2021).
Bylines in Parents, Bustle, and Understood.org.
Undefeated champion in countless shower arguments.
So if you’re looking for an author-artist-ADHD-expat-skeptic witch-mom who sprinkles sarcasm like parmesan cheese (but NOT that, because I’m lactose intolerant), then you’ve come to the right place. It’s awesome to have you here.
Feel free to drop me a line if you want to say hi!
