About Me

I’m an award-winning children’s author and a seasoned public relations professional with over a decade of experience. As the founder and owner of PR From The Heart—one of the leading publicity firms in the KidLit community—I serve children’s book authors worldwide, connecting them with the media to amplify their platforms and voices, and reach parents, educators, and librarians with their inspiring stories. My work blends a love of storytelling with a dedication to nurturing children’s emotional and spiritual wellness, establishing me as a trusted voice in the world of children’s literature.

My career began in an unexpected—and deeply meaningful—way as the host of the award-winning wrestling radio show Monday Night Mayhem. For over a decade, I partnered with the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital in Buffalo to create unforgettable moments for young patients. Whenever top wrestling promotions—including WWE—came to town, I brought these larger-than-life superstars together with children facing serious health challenges, bringing joy, hope, and strength during their darkest days.

These treasured encounters planted the seeds for my dream of building a children’s hospice in San Diego—a space that combines the compassionate care of hospice with the uplifting spirit of a Child Life Department. A place where terminally ill children can meet their favorite athletes, musicians, authors, and professional wrestlers before they transition—a sanctuary of love, laughter, and peace in their final moments.
