When I was 16 years old, I had a dream about three overprotective brothers watching over their little sister after they became orphans unexpectedly. I woke up the next morning with an overwhelming desire to get it all down on paper.
Two weeks later, I completed my first novel. It was over 20,000 words of what I thought was utter drivel, but my sister enjoyed reading it, and my dad was impressed. I haven’t been able to stop writing since that day.
Life has gotten in the way more than a few times, but in the end, through everything, I always come back to my pen and paper because it’s where I find solitude, peace, and myself.
Fiction is my first love, and I returned to it with the publication of a short story, The Underwear Defense. The Underwear Defense received rave reviews. You can read it for free HERE.
Currently, I am working on several full-length novels. I hope to publish these traditionally. More on my works-in-progress HERE.
My writing has appeared on HuffPost (formerly Huffington Post), YouQueen, and several anthologies. Outside of writing, I’m an avid reader, history buff, traveler, chocoholic, and beach bum.
I hold a B.A. in English Language & Literature, completed Advanced Fiction Studies at the University of Waterloo, and studied Creative Writing through the University of Toronto SCS. In 2026, I received an Amy Sue Nathan “Write and Publish Your Book” Memorial Scholarship from the Women’s Fiction Writers Association.
I look forward to the day I can write full-time while looking out over the ocean. I currently alternate between Canada, the UAE, and wherever my next travel adventure takes me.
