From the sun-drenched landscapes of Arizona, I create stories that spark joy, inspire learning, and nurture young minds. As a writer, illustrator, storyteller, and songwriter, my passion lies in crafting narratives that not only entertain but also impart values like responsibility, empathy, and compassion.

Through "Emily & Aiden, Learning Magic," "Emily & Aiden, Puppy Love," and "Emily & Aiden, Gaming," I explore themes that encourage children to embrace the challenges of growing up while fostering a love for reading. My latest musical venture, "Adventures in Melody," brings the vibrant world of Emily & Aiden to life through song, enhancing the storytelling experience with tunes that are as educational as they are enjoyable.

Beyond the pages of my books and the melodies of my songs, I'm deeply committed to my community. My "Read, Learn, Grow" program allows me to visit schools and engage with young learners through interactive assemblies and workshops. These visits are designed to complement the themes of my books and songs, filled with activities that promote creativity, digital safety, and the joys of reading.

As we navigate the digital age, I also focus on empowering children with the tools they need to be safe and respectful online through my Cyber S.M.A.R.T. program. It’s my mission to ensure that our digital explorers are equipped to handle the virtual world with care and wisdom.

Join me in the magical world of the "Emily & Aiden Series™," where every story is an adventure, every song is a journey, and every journey inspires the next generation to embrace the joys of learning, the importance of kindness, and the boundless possibilities of their imagination.
