Po středoškolském úspěchu s první povídkou se vydala na dráhu biologie a práva, ale láska k psaní ji nakonec přivedla zpět k literatuře. Po patnácti letech od prvního přijetí povídky se dočkala vydání svého prvního románu a nyní se věnuje psaní YA fantasy románů. Její tvorba čerpá z fantazie a dobrodružství, které formovaly její rané literární pokusy.
