While pregnant with my first child, I wrote my first children’s book because I wanted to publish an inspiring S.T.E.M. careers book for girls that encourages them to explore these types of careers and follow their dreams. I enjoy reading my book to my four-month-old daughter, Shaina, and hope she loves it when she is older. Knowledge is power, so developing that passion of being a lifelong learner starts when a child is exposed to books at an early age as it opens their eyes to all of life’s possibilities while their interests are being shaped.

My life has been an extraordinary adventure. I am blessed to have a wonderful family and friends who have loved and supported me through the various stages of my life. My faith and my family have been my foundation, and I am grateful for them. I have been a published author and public speaker for over fifteen years, writing books for adults and children. Through several of my organizations, I have worked with schools, community groups, churches, corporations and other organizations promoting character education, literacy, leadership development and education. People are my passion and helping them fulfill their god-given purpose is my mission.

For 15 years I was an elementary music teacher, at a school in Southern California, and for the last 6 of those years I was also a Jr. High theater and culinary arts teacher, in addition to teaching elementary music. My husband decided to retire and wanted to travel the world, so we sold our house and most of our furniture and packed up the rest. We drove across the US in August 2022 and in September took off for Morocco. Since then, we’ve slept in 70 different beds and visited 11 different countries. We’ve stayed in a geodome, a cave, and even a castle! As I’m writing this, I’m in Oslo, Norway, headed off to Spain tomorrow!

Having grown up with parents and grandparents who were teachers, deputy heads and head teachers I grew up surrounded by books and developed an interest in writing early on, which was further inspired by an author who visited my primary school in Haringey. I graduated from Leeds University having studied Film and Moving Image. During this time, I pitched ideas for scripts that were selected by the university to be made into shorts. This was the turning point when I decided that he needed to reignite my passion for becoming an author and pursue a career in writing. After many ideas and several trips to the coffee shop later, Luke’s First Adventure was formed.
