BIO
Biography

I am a kindergarten teacher from Hamilton, Ontario. In 2020 I self-published my first children's picture book, Paislee and the Talking Tree (illustrated by Hamilton artist Rae Bates and designed by Greg Smith of Blind Pig Press). 

Paislee and the Talking Tree is sold through local book stores and boutiques. 

I am thrilled to be a finalist for the Hamilton Arts Council 2021 Literary Awards.

Paislee is available in print braille through CELA. There are ASL and LSQ videos available on YouTube.

There are many children's songs available through my website/YouTube channel.
