Before fully dedicating herself to fiction, she worked as an analyst at the CIA, an experience that clearly influences the atmosphere and themes of her novels. She debuted in 2018 with Need to Know (2018), a work that became an international bestseller. She subsequently published Keep You Close (2019), You Can Run (2021), and The New Neighbor (2022), all solely authored by her.

Her plots are distinguished by a brisk pace, a focus on personal relationships, and a realistic backdrop provided by her professional experience.
