Who is Tiera?
Welcome to my creative corner!
I’m an indie author, coach, mentor, speaker, and all-around maker of things based in Rockland County, NY. Life has been a colorful journey, filled with challenges, triumphs, and an endless love for storytelling.
I’m the proud wife of a fellow creative and mama to three amazing kids: Raevyn, Ayden, and Elisa. Our lively household also includes two cats, Oliver and C.O., and a snake named Ra. When I’m not wrangling my wild and wonderful crew, I’m writing, painting, or crafting candles that range from deliciously scented to intention-
based creations.
My creative journey began as a child, writing stories I one day hope to turn into children’s books. That love of storytelling carried me through life’s biggest tests, including my time in the U.S. Army and my battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (DLBCL). I wrote my debut novel, Awakening: Bloodline Book One, during chemo—a project that taught me the healing power of creativity. I’m now cancer-free and more committed than ever to using my voice.
Today, my work expands beyond the page and canvas. As a mentor and creative guide, I help others reconnect with their voice, express their truth, and grow into who they really are—with confidence and clarity. I’ve had the opportunity to support participants through the Dale Carnegie program, lead group sessions, and present workshops that blend mind-
set, communication, and storytelling. I’m also growing my presence as a public speaker, having spoken at events for 100+ attendees, from youth empowerment sessions to book launches and fundraisers. I’m currently training to become a certified facilitator through both Dale Carnegie and Soliya, deepening my commitment to meaningful dialogue, connection, and transformation.
