About Me

An avid reader and aspiring author, I love getting lost in worlds intricately created word by word. I am fortunate enough to work from home on my own schedule, allowing me to devote much of my spare time to my passion for literature. I am an editor, and I currently review here on my personal blog, as well as on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Goodreads, Storygraph, BookBub, Amazon, Edelweiss+, Pinterest, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. When applicable, I also review on retailer sites such as Barnes and Noble. I will happily review on other forums if requested.  

My published editorial reviews are available on Readers' Favorite, Reedsy Discovery, and Online Book Club. I also review on Netgalley, Library Thing, Book Sirens, Booksprout, Hidden Gems, AuthorsXP, Reading Deals, and Voracious Readers Only.

A little about me, personally...

I was raised in San Diego, CA, where I lived for the first 30 years of my life. I joined the Army Reserves at the age of 25 as a medic.  I am still enlisted, though I am now living in the Midwest with my husband, who is an active duty Blackhawk pilot, and my two toddlers. I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Criminal Psychology. I graduated summa cum laude and concurrently completed a minor in History. My hobbies include reading (of course), bullet journaling, brush lettering and calligraphy, piano, cooking, diamond painting, traveling, camping, hiking, exercise, and cuddling my four adorable cats.
