I was the child who chose books over playgrounds, happiest in the quiet company of stories. Reading and writing became the way I understood the world and my place in it.
Raised by parents devoted to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, I learned early that moral courage and public life matter. Their reverence for justice shaped my own lifelong commitment to progressive values and civic engagement.
Today, I write poetry and political commentary, contributing to Protectors of Equality in Government while continuing my creative work. My debut novel, All That I’m Asking, will be published in September 2026.
At heart, I remain an introvert sustained by language, memory, and the belief that words can illuminate both private longing and public truth.
