I’ve been inactive on here, but catching up to announce my debut novel YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT comes out Fall 2026 with @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social!
Libby must team up with a distractingly handsome ghost in order to save her childhood crush (and love of her life) from a generational curse. 👻👻

I’m excited to announce that I’m now represented by Ariele Fredman at UTA!! I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Ariele. Her editorial vision completely aligns with the story I want to tell. Plus, I loved her energy from our very first call. #writingcommunity

The face of a girl who never expected to make it to the Eras Tour and ended up with floor seats last night. 😭😭
I could wax poetic about what Taylor means to me as an artist and a storyteller but I’ll spare you. If you’re a Swiftie, I’m sure you already know!! 🩷🩵
