I am a Brisbane-based children’s author with a background in Zoology and genetic counselling, I write picture books, short stories and am currently working on a junior fiction verse novel.

My debut picture book, Ladybirds Do Not Go to Day Care, was published in November 2023 with Hardie Grant and was a CBCA notable book in two categories. It is the first in a four-book series called Preschool Problems, an imaginative book series for Kindy-aged children to help them overcome common challenges, by addressing them in a humorous and light-hearted way. The second in the series, Kittens Do Not Care For Baths, was released in October 2024 and was also a CBCA notable book in the Picture Book category. Crocodiles Do Not Like the Toilet was published in 2025 and Butterflies Do Not Ride Their Bikes is out in April 2026.

The Beginner’s Guide to Choosing the Perfect Pet, a humorous, concept picture book, was released in October 2024, published by Allen & Unwin. This book is aimed at children aged 5-8y, and is a tongue-in-cheek persuasive writing guidebook, which challenges traditional pet stereotypes.

I have published two short stories. Frog TV was published in March this year in The School Magazine. The Loophole won the Story links short story competition in 2023 and is published on their website.

I tailor my author visits, depending on the age of the children and the topics that teachers would like me to cover. I have attended local Kindys and day care centres, where I give interactive story times, with plenty of singing and movement.
For school aged children, I have given presentations about character development, generation of story ideas and the collaborative process of writing picture books.
