A Journey Through Life
My Published Poetry & Projects
I released my words to the world in 2022.
I have since had great luck publishing and winning a few smaller awards.
This is the life I always dreamed of but was never brave enough to embrace...until my world fell apart in 2019 and I could no longer hold it all inside. Sometimes our darkest moments require just the right amount of fire. The perfect amount to burn it all down and rise again. My life as a writer began when my life as a teacher ended.

Proof that sometimes the best stories begin right after we think ours is over—cheers to new chapters (and plenty of poetry)!
