Hey! So Glad You're Here.

When not obsessing over cinnamon rolls, her mini-goldendoodle, or theatre in general, Kirsten can be found teaching high schoolers the thing she has loved most to do in all her growing up years. Writing.

​

Her journey began writing stories for her Grama every Christmas, which then grew into superhero stories for her siblings and cousins, and eventually a book duo in high school based on the adventures of three siblings. A theme throughout all of Kirsten's writing has always been strong family ties, as her family is most important to her.

​

Kirsten received her Bachelor's in English from Thomas Edison State University and her Master's in Creative Writing and Literature from Harvard Extension School. During her graduate degree, she wrote a full-length novel for her thesis, which was workshopped for nine months with a Harvard professor. She currently lives in Springfield, MO with her puppy, and teaches high school writing, literature, history, theatre, and debate.
