The Author

Author Photos_No Background.png

Welcome to my world: a world of change, adventure, and endless curiosity, seen through the eyes of a lifelong nomad!

I’ve spent my life moving across countries, and now, as a mom, I’m helping my own children navigate new beginnings. When I couldn’t find a story that captured what we were living, the goodbyes, the excitement, the fear, and the wonder, I decided to write it myself.

With a master’s degree in Journalism and Communication, I combine my love for words with emotional storytelling to create books that speak to both children and parents.

Inspired by my childhood as an expat and by the everyday adventures of Emma and Eliott, my stories celebrate love, courage, and connection.

My hope is that these books help children feel safe, seen, and brave enough to embrace every new beginning, one world at a time.
