About

It's been twelve years since I embarked on my first writing journey. I had an exciting idea that kept me awake late at night, but like many new writers, I needed to figure out how to tell a story. All I knew was I wanted to create the same magic other storytellers had done before me. 

From there, I continued to work on my craft, eliminated the adverbs, and learned what makes my voice unique. I write because stories are one of the few ways we can walk in someone else's shoes and gain empathy for others who are not like us.

A little about myself, I was born and raised in a small town north of Boston, Massachusetts. My family is of Cape Verdean and Indigenous American heritage. The historic cities of the American Northeast have inspired me immensely. One day, I'll be able to represent this unique picture of America and the diverse people who live in these communities.
