Hello! I’m so happy you have come to visit!

Just a bit about me. I live in Arizona, but for most of the year, I travel across our beautiful earth as a deckhand and yoga instructor in the yachting industry. I love the serenity of the sea, exploring treasured caves, hiking through lush green forests, immersing myself in different cultures, and meeting new friends. I recently launched an online retail store (www.yachtieinspired.com) that offers conservation and yachtie inspired designs through my Sea Our Love and Silent Whispers Collections.

My passions are storytelling, child advocacy and conservation. Through diverse ventures, I am able support a variety of children and conservation organizations.

Many of my stories reflect my love and concern for those in need, especially children, across the world. Through suspense and adventure storytelling, it is my greatest hope to give a voice to those who are oppressed, those who suffer, and those who are silenced. I’d love to share a quote with you that serves as my storytelling beacon:

“As we look around the world today, we’re confronted with an uncomfortable but undeniable truth: Millions of children’s lives are blighted, for no other reason than the country, the community, the gender or the circumstances into which they are born. Before they draw their first breath, the life chances of poor and excluded children are often being shaped by inequities. Disadvantaged and discrimination against their communities and families will help determine whether they life or die, whether they have a chance to learn and later earn a decent living. Conflicts, crises and climate-related disasters deeper their deprivation and diminish their potential.”
