Hi there!
My love for literacy started early. As a child, I was always crafting stories and begging my parents for new books at the book fair. My journey in education began in 2015 when I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education. Over the past 9 years, I've had the joy of teaching both lower and upper grades. In 2023, I became a first-time mum and saw firsthand my son's delight with books—how he loved looking at pictures, turning pages, and bringing them to me to read.
Motherhood brought its challenges, especially the feeling of losing a bit of my pre-mum self. But it also gave me a newfound confidence to step out of my comfort zone. My year with my son inspired a bravery I didn't know I had. He became my spark, reigniting my creativity and passion for storytelling.
Inspired by my son, I wrote Mabel’s Magical Meal to create a colourful and engaging book that helps young children learn in a fun and captivating way.
