Since signing my first publishing contract at age 13, I've written three young adult action/adventure novels and contributed to the Into the Unknown science fiction anthology. As a day job, I work in my college's marketing department, writing advertising copy that showcases campus life for donors and students. I'm also a freelance journalist and radio broadcaster for Michigan News Source and Michigan Talk Network. When I'm not writing or broadcasting, you'll find me caring for my plants or building paper piles for my cats.
