ABout me

I am an award-winning author and environmental scientist born and raised outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My debut young adult novel, The Temperature of Me and You, was a Brazilian bestseller and honored as the best translated young adult stand-alone novel of 2022 at the Tres Cantos International Festival of Children's and Youth Literature. My second young adult novel, Within These County Lines, will be released in February 2026.

Outside of writing, I work in global sustainability research, while pursuing my doctorate in public health at Johns Hopkins University.
