“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou
I am a writer and creative exploring the intersection of faith, motherhood, culture, and what it looks like to trust God's provision through it all. In everything I do, I aim to bring glory to God and encourage women to build a life of faith and intentionality, both online and off.
My Story
I'm a multi-passionate ADHD wife and mom who loves collecting hobbies and creative projects. When I'm not wrangling my "feral fairies" (aka my amazing daughters) or trying to make family life as magical as possible, I can be found writing, checking out way more books at the library than I can reasonably read, or going on long walks with the occasional Pilates workout thrown in. Although my current job title is "stay-at-home mom," my experience as a marketing manager and my passion for storytelling led me to found Heaven Held—a digital magazine on Substack designed to help moms feel HELD: Heard, Equipped, Loved, and Discipled. I also always find a creative side project to do in my (very spare) time, including children's books, personal essays, podcasts, and long-form YouTube videos. I firmly believe that motherhood has heightened my ambition and creativity, and I have learned so much in my digital pursuits over the last two years, such as self-publishing an ebook and a children's book, launching a digital magazine, maintaining a personal brand and blog, and finishing a second children's book draft. I also recently deleted social media in order to live and create more intentionally, both personally and with my family. I am excited for what is to come and hope to encourage other moms to do the same.

The Magic We Missed
A simple yet cozy story about two spirited sisters who discover the power of everyday magic and share it with their mom. Based on life with my two daughters, this book was only intended to be a surprise for my girls and a little experiment with self-publishing, but quickly became the spark that reignited my childhood love of writing.
