Book launching Fall 2025

Since childhood, snippets of stories swirled around Stacy's mind, often distracting her from "the real work" of life. She can still smell the dusty library of St Agatha's, a now shuttered Catholic school, where she spent large chunks of her childhood. When Stacy became a teacher, she envisioned each student as a main character in their own unique story. 

Stacy holds a Bachelor's degree in Journalism/Mass Communications and a Master's degree in Childhood Education. Her NY state teacher certification is Childhood Education (grades 1-6) and Students with Disabilities (Birth - grade 12). For 13 years, she taught special education in 2nd, 5th, and 6th grades. 

Her goal is to create complex characters who look at the world in a whimsical way. She wholeheartedly believes that children's books are for all ages (yes, even parents). It is her hope that as the world becomes more inclusive, every child will have an easy time perusing the Internet or approaching a bookshelf and finding a character they can see themselves in. 

Stacy lives with her husband, Mike, and their two brilliant sons named Andrew and Benjamin. Ben is the inspiration behind her inaugural book!  They also have a rambunctious labrador retriever. Together they reside in a small town south of Buffalo where the sunsets off the back deck are enchanting!
