Expat writer living in Florence.
Expat writer living in Florence.
Originally from California, I have lived most of my adult life in Europe: France, England, and Italy.
After moving to Florence in 2004, I began my Living in Florence blog where I write about life in my beloved city. A few years ago, I started the Me, My Heart, and I blog where I share my reflections of life as an expat writer as well as my thoughts about other topics that inspire me.
Currently, I am focusing on a few writing projects, both fiction and non-fiction. I enjoy experiencing, photographing, and sharing the beauty I stumble upon.
I've written many articles for other websites and publications, like Global Living Magazine and Insiders Abroad.
In The Florentine, I interviewed many expats in Florence.
A few articles and interviews were written about me and my writing in Mindful Mavericks Magazine, Expat.com, and many others.

MESSAGES FROM FLORENCE is a collection of photos I captured when inspiration struck. While I was meandering through Florence, watching a sunset or sunrise, running along the Arno, or visiting a garden, Florence would whisper messages to me about being more present, opening myself up to my surroundings, and seeing the world through my heart.
My beloved city encouraged me to experience my surroundings through my senses. What began as pleasure for my eyes became love that now courses through my veins. As Florence once whispered to me, “What you see is beauty. What you feel is love.”
