Hi, I'm Marissa!

I'm a wife, mom, author, and a woman who's learned that life doesn't always go according to plan — and sometimes, the most unexpected chapters change us forever.

I've worn a lot of hats throughout my life, but becoming an author is one I never imagined wearing.

After escaping an abusive relationship in 2019, I spent years healing, rebuilding, and finding my voice again. Writing Escaping Doc gave me the opportunity to turn some of my darkest experiences into something meaningful.

I'm a little sassy, a little unconventional, and a firm believer that our past doesn't have to determine our future.

If sharing my story helps even one person feel less alone, then every difficult word was worth writing.

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm so glad you're here. 🩷
