Raised in Brooklyn, New York, and later moving upstate near the Adirondack Mountains, I developed a deep fascination with the quiet power and beauty of the natural world. The contrast between city life and sweeping mountain landscapes helped shape my imagination and creative voice.

I have loved writing for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, storytelling was my way of exploring emotions, possibilities, and the hidden magic within everyday life. I was obsessed with the idea that a magical portal could transport a quiet, awkward kid like me to a wonderful, dreamy world. Today, that same passion drives my work.
