She has illustrated three picture books "A Bailar!/ Let's Dance!", "I Want to be a Bald Eagle", and "The Big Bong Boo". Her work has also appeared in children’s magazines and educational textbooks. Her work has been exhibited in the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles competitions and she is an active member of The Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators.
