I am a  children’s author, public speaker, and beekeeper creating stories, talks, and workshops inspired by honeybees, nature, and what they can teach us about kindness, resilience, and community.

I write the Betsie Valentine book series, which blends storytelling with environmental education and emotional growth for young readers.

Alongside my books, I deliver engaging school visits and community talks that combine real-life beekeeping experience with storytelling to inspire curiosity, compassion, and positive action.

My work is heart-led, accessible, and rooted in the belief that small actions can make a big difference.
