About

Hi friends!

I'm so glad you've found your way to my little corner of the internet. I’m an author, teacher, student success coach, artist, and YouTuber who helps both fans of fiction and aspiring creators find their story. Above all else, I’m in love with storytelling in all its forms! I believe in the power of stories. All my life I have watched, read, performed, written, and studied storytelling as if it were the very life blood of my being, and, in a sense, it is. Storytelling is an innate human trait. The creation, the circulation, and the consumption of these tales are what defines us as humans. Without them, our world would be a completely different place.

My goal is to share my love of stories, specifically fiction, with you in the form of news and reviews. We’ll talk movies, books, TV, video games, and even merch, decor, planners, stationary, and board games. Essentially, we’ll discuss anything that can either help fans of storytelling show off their love for these stories or help aspiring creators make these stories.

Here on my website you can find links to my fiction books as well as shop my storytelling designs and creator resources. Most of the merch designs were hand drawn and then digitally edited by me without the use of AI. No AI was used in any design sold on my merch. I crafted each item as a fan and fellow creator of stories specifically for all those who find joy, inspiration, and a home in these fictional worlds we all love. Whether you're a fan of playing, reading, watching, or creating stories, my designs are for you! 


If you're looking for my reviews, deep-dives, or news on fiction, follow me on social media or join one of my membership tiers. Tier 1 (Story Fan) is my free newsletter. I can't wait to connect. 

Until next time, friends. Find your story!
