Welcome to the blog!

HELLO, My name is..

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I began writing to cope with loss when I was young. As an only child, and parents that weren’t around, I had no one to talk to but myself. I have been writing since I was 14. Writing helps me have a voice that I otherwise wouldn’t have.  My writing has helped me overcome life’s challenges and face my greatest fears.

As an emerging designer here in Lancaster, I was introduced to Pen + Napkin. From the moment I met Catie, I knew I was surrounded with family—something I’ve never had, yet something for which I’ve always longed. I am both humbled and honored by the opportunity to write about families coming home. It’s only fitting that now I feel like I have found my own, on this team. As I get more acclimated with Pen + Napkin and partake of the experiences that come, I look forward to sharing all my thoughts with you! It is my hope that I captivate you all as much as Pen + Napkin has captivated me. Thank you for reading, and look forward to our next blog post, every Monday!
