I am a literary agent and subsidiary rights manager at Triada US. 

Triada US was founded in 2004 by Dr. Uwe Stender. Since then, the agency has built a list of high quality fiction and non-fiction for readers of all ages. Our books are consistently critically acclaimed and translated into multiple languages.

After years of interning in trade book publishing, I joined Triada US in 2014 to assist Uwe Stender while building my own list of fiction and non-fiction for readers aged 0-18. I was promoted to associate agent in November 2015 and to agent in April 2017. In addition to my role as an agent, I manage the agency's subsidiary rights, licensing our titles around the world and attending international rights fairs.

I describe my reading tastes as upmarket: I'm passionate about books for young readers that are extremely well-written, robust with emotion, and appeal to a wide, commercial audience.
