A graduate of Lake Forest College in 2010, Anais began her creative journey as a published poet and spoken word artist while still in high school. Her involvement in youth service projects and passion for expressive writing gave her a platform to speak, share, and connect with others through words.
Now a devoted wife, mother of one spirited boy, and a full-time risk manager by day,
Anais continues to write stories that capture the beautiful mess of real life—filled with second chances, slow burns, and deep emotional truths. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, chasing after her son, or quietly shoving her feet under her husband’s legs to fall asleep.
