Believe it or not, at home on the couch; I like to be comfortable.

I don’t really have a process that I particularly follow. My books have a STEM focus so once I know which experiment I want Noa to experience next, I build the story around the experiment.

This is my first published children’s book. Golden Butterfly Publishing has been instrumental in making this first time experience a great one.

None so far. Everything in the book is based loosely on my own personal experience.

I am glad to have so much support early on in my writing career.

I am working on my installment in the Girls in Science Collection.

No.

I reach out to schools and STEM educators in particular. I find that they will have the most vested interests given the subject matter. Although, I hope that more parents will purchase the book for their child’s private collection so that the first exposure to science or any STEM field is not at school or in the library.

My inspiration is my younger self. Noa’s character is loosely based on my experiences in science growing up. Although neither of my parents attended college, my father was tantamount to my success in school. I had his full support throughout school, throughout college, graduate school, and my pursuits toward the doctoral program. I lost my father late last year which delayed the book’s release; but even then he was very proud of me. Although, he did not get to see the release of the book and unfortunately will not see me cross the stage to receive my doctorate degree, he is still a major contributing factor to my writing process and to continue my mission to expose little girls to science at a young age.

I prefer to market my work through social media marketing.
