books & writing
I write to connect, uplift, and make meaning. Sometimes that looks like a journal a parent and child fill in together. Sometimes it's an essay about motherhood, or a short video where I simply say it out loud.
Different formats, same goal: leave people with something worth keeping.

Notes From Beyond the Lens
My personal blog, Beyond the Lens, is where I think out loud. I write about motherhood, healing, creativity, design, and faith, usually starting from a photograph or a moment I couldn't stop thinking about.
I share longer reflections on Substack and Medium too, so pick whichever spot you like to read.
I've also written events and business features for Yorba Linda City Lifestyle, introducing readers to what's happening around town and the people behind the local businesses they love.
