6 WORD BIO

Living life inspired by Children’s Books.

Imagine the whimsy of Dr. Seuss, the bravery of J.R.R. Tolkien's characters, or the adventure of exploring Narnia. By embracing the creativity, curiosity and wonder of childhood tales, we can infuse our everyday lives with a sense of adventure and possibility. Adulthood can make it hard sometimes, but I strive to dream big, believe in the extraordinary, and let the pages of children's books inspire me to see the world in a whole new light.
