I am an Author, Outdoor Lover and Mum.

I live in Christchurch and have a background in Outdoor Education, I love combining this with writing.

I aim to inspire others to get outdoors and enjoy all the amazing feelings that you experience, leading to caring for our environment.

My books are inspired by my children and spending time at the bach on Banks Peninsula Canterbury and Pukaha Wildlife Centre in the Wairarapa.
