I’ve been writing books since 2012 and likely won’t be stopping any time soon. These are the books I’ve written so far.
The Little Book of Big Dreams: True Stories About People who Followed a Spark (She Writes Press, 2023)
The Little Book of Big Dreams is filled with true stories of dreamers who decided to try for their biggest dreams and kept going when things got hard (which they almost always do).
The dreamers in this book include Oscar winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Disney producer Don Hahn, Pensole Lewis College founder D’Wayne Edwards, Hamilton cast member Seth Stewart, Black Girls Code founder Kimberly Bryant, actor and filmmaker Justin Baldoni, and more.
But the most important story in this book is yours.
What others have said about The Little Book of Big Dreams:

I Am A Creator Vol 2-3 (2021-2023)
I write the I Am A Creator book series for ConvertKit, featuring true stories about how creators manage the ups and downs of making a living online and how they find the courage to create the businesses of their dreams.
Community College Success (NorLights Press, 2012)
My first book was published in 2012, a non-fiction book created for the remarkable students I met during my time both attending and working at a community college. The book is an instructional guide teaching students how to make the most of their community college experience and transfer to a four-year university afterwards if that’s their goal. The book was endorsed by bestselling authors like Wes Moore and mentioned on The White House Blog during the Obama Administration.
