I was born and raised in central Louisiana. The oldest of five children, I always yearned to be a teacher and forced my siblings to play school year round. After fifteen years in the classroom, I've moved to the role of school counselor and I've never been happier. While serving as school counselor at an elementary school in northeast Texas, I frequently use children’s books as therapy to help my students heal, learn, and grow. I took that passion for bibliotherapy and began writing children's book. The ideas for my books come from the students I work with daily. My goal, as an author, is to touch the hearts of children, one story at a time. I live on a 300 acre cattle ranch near the Red River with my husband, two daughters, three dogs, two horses, and one ill-tempered cat.
