In just 30 days she wrote her first book, "Foster to Fosters," becoming an Amazon Bestseller within a short 24 hours of publishing. This book led to sharing relatable life lessons through public speaking and coaching that benefits budding entrepreneurs, child welfare professionals, parents, and teens. It also led to a national publishing deal that has facilitated a platform, which allows her to continue advocating for causes she believes in.
