On a personal level, I am a style obsessed health nut on a budget.

As a journalist, I write for real readers in mind, not for those that feed on fluff journalism. I'd rather write for those that require poignant and detailed journalism for nourishment. I aim to inspire and inform poetically.

As a creative writer, I always aspire to take readers with me on visual haunts that are unexpected and that mentally challenge the realm of the norm. 

Previously, I was a high school History and English teacher. I also spent several years in luxury retail management

I went to college on a Cross Country and Track scholarship

I believe in the promises and powers of natural health remedies

I had my first poem published when I was twenty in an anthology for new writers

I will be a yogi/runner for life

I paint on canvas because it is liberating

I am left handed but think with my right brain

If I could live anywhere it would be Long Beach, California and Paris

The fiction of Anne Rice blows my mind followed by Zora Neale Hurston

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Literature from the University of Texas
