She loves writing stories about people who look and sound like her people, getting unapologetic happy endings.When she’s not dreaming up love stories, planning logistically complex vacations with her family, or hunting for discount Broadway tickets, she’s a trauma therapist in New York City, working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.Her debut novel, American Dreamer, has been featured on Entertainment Weekly, NPR, and was one of the TODAY Show on NBC’s Hot Beach Reads picks. She’s one of the co-creators of the Queer Romance PoC Collective and serves as the president for the Romance Writers of America New York City Chapter.
