Ik werd in 1981 geboren in het Zeeuwse dorpje Arnemuiden. Al op mijn 6e schreef ik mijn eerste gedichtje:

Een knufje voor jou en een knufje voor mij
en zo gaat het leven voorbij.

Op mijn 15e begon ik aan mijn eerste (jeugd)boek ‘Achtervolgd door de Dood’, dat ik in 2005 in eigen beheer uitgaf, onder het pseudoniem Jayda Rosa. Ook liet ik in dat jaar een bundel met gedichten drukken: ‘De tijd staat even stil’.

Jarenlang bleef ik dromen van een carrière als schrijfster en in 2011 kwam die droom eindelijk uit. Bij Karakter Uitgevers verscheen de bundel Bergen Bloedt, met daarin mijn spannende verhaal Elf November. Via Tenpages.com kwam ik vervolgens bij Kluitman terecht, die begin 2012 mijn debuut Nergens uitbracht. Mijn eerste Young Adult Jasper werd in 2013 door Uitgeverij Zilverspoor uitgegeven. Daarna volgde bij Uitgeverij Kramat de serie Christopher Plum , die nog steeds loopt, en daarna een aantal korte verhalen, waaronder het als boekje gepubliceerde Tegenwereld. In 2017 verscheen mijn allereerste boek voor volwassenen: Echo bij uitgeverij Kabook.

Inmiddels heb ik me volledig op het schrijven gestort. Begin 2011 startte ik mijn eigen bedrijf: Tekstbureau Charizma. Ik volgde de opleiding voor Docent Creatief Schrijven aan de HVA en geef nu cursussen.
En daarnaast schrijf ik natuurlijk verder aan een aantal nieuwe boeken!
