I’m a teen author who loves cats, reading and baking-- especially macarons-- and get messy with arts and crafts.
At the age of nine, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease and was in the hospital for a month.
Living with this disease has brought on many challenges, but also many gifts, including my first book, My Hospital Story, where I share my experience during my month-long hospital stay in the ICU.
Besides writing, I love to...
writer, Artist, baker, cat lover and more!
I'm Nell!
When I was nine years old,
a mysterious illness turned my life upside down…
I was in the ICU for about a month!
I share my story in my book, My Hospital Story.
Throughout my journey, I discover angels, or
people who light the way during times of
darkness, and realize that their compassion
can be the source of true healing.
Have you ever felt like your life turned upside down and everything suddenly changed?

“Hospitals deliver the best care when we put patients and families at the center of every decision. This account from Nell provides a unique perspective about the experience of a 12-year-old from diagnosis through a challenging treatment. Nell's story is a reminder to us all about the importance of slowing down, explaining what's happening to the patient, and doing all we can to make a patient's experience in the hospital a comforting one."
