Long before I stepped into public leadership, I understood the transformative power of a good story.

My passion for storytelling grew from a desire to encourage children to dream bigger, spark their imaginations, and see their own lives and possibilities reflected on the page.

Writing offers a meaningful way to connect with my community. Through stories, I aim to foster curiosity, build lasting confidence, and remind every child that their voice, experiences, and dreams truly matter.

Come Read With Me is a dedicated space to explore my books, discover the inspiration behind them, and follow new journeys as they unfold. Here, I will also share upcoming projects, community readings, and opportunities for us to connect through books.

I firmly believe that the stories children encounter shape how they view themselves and what they envision for their futures.

So find a cozy spot, open a book, and come read with me.

Every child deserves the freedom to dream,and often, that dream begins with a story.
