Family has always been my foundation. As a mother, I’ve taken care of financial and personal matters, ensuring stability for those I love. Standing by my son that day was no different. Whatever the future holds, mothers will always stand as guardians of their children’s hopes and dreams.

In Italia, è tradizione che le madri accompagnino i figli all’altare. Questo momento è stato dolceamaro per me. Il mio istinto mi avvertiva che il cammino davanti a loro sarebbe potuto essere difficile, ma il mio ruolo quel giorno era chiaro: sostenere mio figlio mentre compiva questo passo importante.

La famiglia è sempre stata il mio fondamento. Come madre, mi sono occupata delle questioni finanziarie e personali, assicurando stabilità a chi amo.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
