I am mother of three – two lovely boys, and one gorgeous little miss. I am married to a wonderful Australian man and hope one day to spend some time living in Australia. I grew up the Caribbean where I spent much of my youth before moving to France, Canada, and the US. I spent my college years at Colby College in Maine, and moved around quite a bit post college (Boston, Los Angeles) before finally settling in New York where I have been for the past 13 years.

An aspiring writer from a young age, my poem “The Candle,” written at age thirteen, was published in a University of Warwick journal. I was also a recipient of a Royal Commonwealth Society essay award (a global youth writing competition). Later writing experience includes B.A. honors theses in both French and International Studies completed at Colby College, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude/Phi Beta Kappa. At Colby, I was also cited for research and criticism in Raffael Scheck’s article, “German Conservatism and Female Political Activism in the Early Weimar Republic,” and his subsequent book, “Mothers of the nation: right-wing women in Weimar Germany.” I received a distinction in English Literature from the University of Cambridge, A-level Examinations. I am also a member of SCBWI. « less
