I am a New Zealand-based author with a long-standing interest in family travel, storytelling and intergenerational connection. I like to writes books for families at different stages of life — from early childhood stories to family travel guides.

 

I write books that are designed to be used - read aloud, shared, coloured in, taken on trips, and returned to over time.

​

Alongside writing, I deliver calm, inclusive author talks and sessions for libraries, schools, museums, and community groups.

Author story 

Whether writing a story to read with a grandchild or a guide to help families explore New Zealand, I focus is always the same: helping families slow down, connect, and enjoy time together.

​

I live in the Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.

​

I have appeared on TVNZ Breakfast show, National Radio and other local radio stations. I have written travel articles for the Parent Centre magazine, New Zealand Hearld and several other publications.  ​
