Here are some fun facts about me:

​

​In my writing, I capture the quiet, confusing, joyful, hilarious, and heartbreaking moments of growing up.

​​

I published my first middle grade novel, Until the Ocean Freezes, in 2020. I am currently working on two new books for kids. Stay tuned for updates!​

I love animals, especially my dog, Spencer, and elephants.​

​

I live in New York City.​

My favorite color is red.​

I have a daughter named Zoe and a son named Lucas. ​

My husband and I met two weeks before we graduated from college.

I'm an identical twin. ​

When I'm not writing, you can probably find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm.​

I read every chance I get and especially enjoy the works of middle grade authors like Meg Medina, Rebecca Stead, Kate DiCamillo, Esther Ehrlich, Judy Blume, and so many others.
