about: My debut YA novel, NerdCrush comes out in 2023 from Running Press Kids. I write YA fiction about awkward Black girls finding their happily ever afters. I've always loved stories of all kinds, but especially ones where the nerdy girl gets the cute guy. I hold a B.A. in English from Armstrong Atlantic University, and an M.A. in English and an M.A. in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University where I completed MFA in Young Adult fiction last year.
