A wife and mom first, Elle is a ride-or-die girl’s girl, championing other women, craving adventure, chasing her dreams with a healthy dose of sarcasm, and trying hard to figure it all out with grace.

She has been writing her whole life and is a published author of Romance and Women’s Fiction - with a sprinkle of the Metaphysical.

Elle grew up traveling the world, even living in China, Japan, and Australia. These experiences began her journey, at a very young age, of questioning all things, big and small. Her inquisitive nature and desire for knowledge have continued to this day, prompting her to read, research, and write about different points of view, theories, and ideas about life and the universe.

Her lighter wheelhouses are satire, pop-culture references, girls’ nights, travel, and espresso martinis. She is a lover of all music, though 90’s East Coast rap and 2000’s bangers are her dog-whistles.

But it’s Elle’s husband and kids (yes, even the teenagers) that get her through life. When she’s not writing, you can find her carpool karaoke-ing with a plethora of mortified children in tow, cooking their Italian family faves - and rolling her eyes when the kids ask for Chick-fil-a instead, or snuggling on the couch, binging the latest show with her better half.

Elle loves watching the pink North Carolina sunsets from her porch in the evenings, and not one day goes by when she misses the apocalyptic northern winters. But even in spite of its dreary cold and snow, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she is a tried-and-true Steelers girl for life.
