Hello! I'm a passionate writer who believes that every story has the power to heal and inspire. Over the years, several teachers have recognized a talent in me that I struggled to see myself. Yet, every time I pick up a pen, I find a story waiting to be told, and that joy fuels my creativity.

I believe that the heart is the true writer within; the mind merely articulates the expression into an understandable form. I enjoy writing across a wide spectrum of genres, from poetry and lyrics to novels that span comedic, serious, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and angst. My writing often reflects the intense emotions I experience-grief, joy, guilt, and healing. Like Dante, I strive to let the light shine through the shadows, exploring life's biggest questions and the aftermath of chaos.

Through my stories, I hope to instill a renewed sense of hope in my readers, reminding them that there is always a bigger and better plan. Sometimes, we must let go of what no longer serves us, even when it's painful, to become our best selves.

Meredith Anne Pierce's *Dark Angel Trilogy* has significantly influenced my writing, and I aspire to connect with others through my work. While my anxiety can make it challenging to reach out, I long to help people see the silver lining in the proverbial grey cloud.

Outside of writing, I love to sing, draw, paint, explore the woods, and spend time with my kids and our dogs. My writing is deeply personal; I draw from my own experiences to reflect and heal, hoping that others can find solace in my words.

As I continue my journey, I aim to become a more proficient writer, proud yet modest of my work. My dream is to reach large audiences and eventually publish a book-or two, or even a series! Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I hope my stories resonate with you and inspire you to find your own light.
