​I discovered my passion for publishing when I crafted my first book pitch for a high school research project. After falling in love with persuading others to read the stories I adored, I earned my BFA in creative writing from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, where I also completed the publishing certificate program. I spent six years acquiring children's books, YA, nonfiction, and fiction for a Virginia-based publisher before opening an online bookstore called The Reading Chamber dedicated to my first love: young adult literature. 

​

I find immense joy in getting books into readers' hands and absolutely love working with authors from all publishing backgrounds. Championing books with diverse characters and settings is always a priority and I am currently building my list in YA, NA, and select adult romance.
